The issue with modern warfare is that its always so one sided its not a challenge anymore.
>We blew up this infantry squad with 10jdam, 400 artillery pieces and 20000rounds of machinegun
Its not heroic anymore.

Drones, artillery, guns, bombs and chemical cuckery. So fucking gay. Disable all of them. Legalize melee combat only.

>Warfare is lame and gay and you often have to overmatch stupidly high to take a position
Yeah

>>64029603 (OP)
War has never been heroic except in the minds of boys
>We used the longest range atlatls to outrange the men and then raped the rest
>We mowed down the naked peasants in knight armor on horseback
>We used deadly gas to clear the trenches and take the high ground

>>64029609
The issue with melee combat is that if you d get at a level that you can safely engage in melee its going to be a one sided slaughter again
>>64029610
Its boring more than anything in ww2 youd get
>One soldiers captured an entire town on his own
Modern war is
>We launched 10000missiles at each other
>One jet destroyed
>500millions comments to propaganda online

>>64029627
>War has never been heroic
This is so false its not even funny anymore.
stories like the red baron are a thing for a reason.

>stories like the red baron are a thing for a reason.
And that reason is people need heroes, chief. Legends are just old propaganda

Palestinian teenagers are throwing demo charges into the hatches of APS-equipped Israeli tanks and basically, you're a a whiny bitch.

>>64029659
And then they complain when Israelis fire back.

This falls apart the moment you do a deep dive on historical accounts. For every 1 who says war is stupid and gay, 8 more say it's grim but also had good times, and another 1 who loves it. I've come to understand the "war isn't heroic" meme is a cope insecure civilians tell themselves for missing out. Not that they'd be in that 10% which actually likes it, but they instinctively understand that even their exaggerated glorious strawmen have done something they'll never be.

>>64029665
You sound very bored with life.

>>64029665
People find ways to have a good time in any situation. That doesn't mean war is good. Have you not been following the Ukraine war at all?

You're a spiritual troon, bro.

>>64029681
You're a zoomer, right?

>>64029636
You're childishly clinging on to fairytales. For every epic war propaganda story you have immeasurable suffering and millions destroyed lives.

>>64029665
Nevermind, you're downright infantile.

What is really required to defend ‘the West’ against the sudden rise of these barbaric and elemental forces is the strengthening, to an extent perhaps still unknown to Western man, of a heroic vision of life. Apart from the military-technical apparatus, the world of the ‘Westerners’ has at its disposal only a limp and shapeless substance – and the cult of the skin, the myth of ‘safety’ and of ‘war on war’, and the ideal of the long, comfortable, guaranteed, ‘democratic’ existence, which is preferred to the ideal of the fulfilment which can be grasped only on the frontiers between life and death in the meeting of the essence of living with the extreme of danger.

Julius Evola, Metaphysics of War

Having a wife and kids is another experience you'll never understand.

The fundamental principle underlying all justifications of war, from the point of view of human personality, is ‘heroism’. War, it is said, offers man the opportunity to awaken the hero who sleeps within him. War breaks the routine of comfortable life; by means of its severe ordeals, it offers a transfiguring knowledge of life, life according to death. The moment the individual succeeds in living as a hero, even if it is the final moment of his earthly life, weighs infinitely more on the scale of values than a protracted existence spent consuming monotonously among the trivialities of cities. From a spiritual point of view, these possibilities make up for the negative and destructive tendencies of war, which are one-sidedly and tendentiously highlighted by pacifist materialism. War makes one realize the relativity of human life and therefore also the law of a ‘more-than-life’, and thus war has always an anti-materialist value, a spiritual value.

Sign up for the war, kids! You too can die pointlessly in unbelievable agony! Maybe you can cause other young men to die badly in the process! We made an alliance with Austria-Hungary against the Serbs so you have to go get killed by a Canadian! Those are the rules!

Reminder it's more than fair, it's actually recommended, to report these threads for precisely what they are: extremely low quality posts. There's absolutely no reason to still have the exact same "le drones ruined warfare", "no more heroism in modern combat" eternal slop in infinite variations just because turdies learned to mimick human arguments in walls of text using LLMs.

Report, insult, sage and move on.
