i think wars have lost the last bits of heroism and honor with the introduction of firearms and wide-range bombs.
the more elbow grease a fight involves, the less deadly it's usually is, and the more ones fighting feel like they've actually fought, brave and strong.
when the modern weapons came, though, it turned into a literal slaughter, courage and honor morphing into terror. the war became soulless, unengaging, a systemized and organized meatgrinder.

>Morality is a leash invented by the weak to prevent the strong from dominating them. The only thing that stays the hand of a powerful man from slaying a weakling, raping his family, and taking his riches, is the notion of such a deed being 'morally wrong'. Yet nobody ever managed to explain why 'wrong' deeds are undesirable, or why must anyone care about the wrongness of their acts. Society as a whole exists as a gigantic sonorous choir of weak people screaming in the faces of those more imposing than them from their very birth that wrong things must not be done, or else. However, this 'else' itself (usually in the form of the punitive forces of the state) depends on another, even stronger men believing in the wrong axiom, without proof or sense. And thus morality rests on the pillars of fear, and survival, two irrelevant notions that never explain, only zombify.
