Sorry, but what world are you living in?<p>Yes, now that its not fashionable to report how many of the &quot;enemy&quot; are killed or injured at the end of each day, it doesn&#x27;t mean that they are not killed.<p>The sheer colossal waste of life for the last three big wars, is overwhelming. In iraq we(the west) killed the best part of at least 100,000 people. Then with the sheer ineptitude of occupation set the seeds for a bloody civil war that is still raging (ISIS et al is just a direct consequence) claiming god knows how many people through active fighting a week, and a magnitude more because of the breakdown of the fabric of society.<p>Yes, we have precision bombs. Yes we have drones. but that just means that we, the west don&#x27;t directly get hurt. Not the &quot;enemy&quot;, or the poor fuckers that happen to be in the way.<p>Do you know why the current calibre for most nato guns is 5.56mm? yes partly because its smaller, partly because there is less kick, but also because its less lethal.<p>An injured enemy requires more resources to rescue, causes a distraction, and mental anguish.<p>As described by many, more gifted people, war is hell.<p>And right now, futile.
