Up til ww1 no one really gave a shit ya know
Spoil of war and all that
No they did, they just paid lip service to it. Well Im sure the officers cared a bit about it
Like I disagree with killing civilians
But at the same time if it’s a guaranteed way to end year of bloodshed then it’s a trade off
We did firebomb the shit out of enemy cities
Yea
Lotta people don't know that napalm is a WW2 invention
Yea it’s great
I mean I don't like the idea of killing civies but shit goes sideways quickly
Example, Vietnam
Burning down entire villages and shit
Yea but they were hiding in the villages
It does happen unfortunately. Its not like we can all line up and take potshots at each other like in the Napoleonic wars. That went out the window with the advent of the maxim gun
I mean I'm tracking, scorched earth
@thedarkness05 actually line battles on massive scales weren't all that common
Usaully one group was entrenched
I was being hyperbolic, but yeah
Ree
Im brain dead atm
Earthworks existed. I mean the british took great offense to our highly successful guerrilla tactics
Yup
Still the main reason we won
Along with the help of the French fleet
And col Lafayette's military advisement helped a bit
Nah
Fake news
Yeah?
Werent him and G Wash besties?
Nah
He never met that Nigga
Huh, I guess I need to read up on it more
Totally
Lol it's weird to think that they went from being a power house to shit
Indeed. But I have hope that theres a bit of embers from the Bastille burning in them
Speaking of which, I find it extremely odd that the world is in flames but we here stateside have become complacent
It be like that. Bread and circuses
Everyone is essentially in rebellion
We have it so comfy. I doubt most would trade that for more or true freedom
You're not wrong
Ironically most people would actually prefer an authoritarian styled government
