air force has psyops, propaganda, planes, and tech

navy also has some to do with tech and such

It must be very weird psychologically to control a drone as your job

wow, in liberia they cut out a womens genitals and keep it in their wallet to have power over others what madness is that

heh maybe if you don't like killing muzzies like it's a fucking video game

Like a video game fr

don't feel bad for them, they deserved it, none of them are innocent

Agreed

But that separation must be weird just watching it on a screen idk

yea the desensetization and thus traumas of mechanical warfare is a well studied thing

If they taught stuff like that in schools I’d be paying attention

warfare is a bit different when you can blow away your enemies or they can blow you likewise away from a long distance where you never really physically meet

the older style of warfare was more personal, you actualyl had to get fairly close, even with ranged weapons

U actually look them in the eyes and fight instead of just pulling a trigger

Vastly different

you knew the people you were killing, not any remorse was felt, you knew why you were fighting

ironically with mechanized warfare and distance warfare, people get a lot of emotional conflict, being killed by or killing a far removed enemy they don't know much about, why they're fighting them, or anythign personal about them

I feel a lot of conflict and arguments could be fixed if pulling a trigger wasn’t so easy, Chicago for example

so depending on whether you're the one getting attacked or attacking there's different traumas from this

conflict and argument is the lifeblood of the drama of war, war itself is an argument

Dudes kill each other for being in the wrong neighborhood it’s insanity

So dumb

to settle the conflict there are two ways; resolution and victory

resolution is the parties end the argument by some resolution, an instrument of law, a treaty, concessions, etc.

victory is of course one side prevails and wins

the other side is totally defeated

resolution > victory

sadly tho humans are humans

well the new way of warfare post-ww2 is indeed mostly on resolution

and perhaps this is why they have the eternal world war going on and fracture of states

now they just fight w money cus no one wants a nuclear winter

victory is the most preferable outcome of war, because it is the end of the conflict for good, the other side ceases to exist, the conflict/argument ceases to exist

unless your Germany

well Germany was totally defeated, the allies had total victory over germany

Ww1 or 2

WW2 is the last major war with decisive victory

Didn’t they lose ww1 then hitler came

yea they lost ww1 and ww1 ended by concession before germany was invaded and conquered

and this set the stage of course for ww2

no one gives Russia credit for ww2 how many people died in that war is insane

the USSR has gotten their credit in recent decades, for ww2 history nerds a lot of the soviet documents got permitted and opened in about 2010s
