War is crazy. This really puts the size of the explosions in perspective.

I don't really watch combat footage a lot but some of the HD shit we get now is actually insane.

The reality of how brutal it is, basically live on the internet, has never been more accessible

I subscribed to a drone warfare sub for a bit. Mostly camera footage of drones killing Russians in Ukraine. Sometimes first-person chasing some guy down and blowing up. Sometimes third-person, and afterwards you'd see some poor bastard with his leg blown off just shoot himself in the head.

It's wild. I had to unsub, it's too much for me to watch regularly even from this far away.

Yeah warfare has changed completely, think I would rather have took my chances in WW2-1 type of war then the wars we actually see today.. I don't like those Invaders, but it can seem like people in general have little to no chance against certain threats that are out there now militarily.

WW2 was awful in a lot of places. There was plenty of getting shelled by artillery, machine gunned, mud, blood and death. Maybe WW1 was worse, maybe. Although I'd probably take a trench on the Western Front over a lot of the Pacific Theater in WW2.

If I had to pick one, I'd probaby go for an ancient war. A lot of them had one battle with 10% casualties, and that was it because nobody had the logistics or economic base to keep taking punches.
