>Why did literature stop romanticizing war?
They'd get canceled, we live in an inverse generation where we can't be pro-war but want it, where as a few decades ago people were pro-war yet averse to it.

>Why did people stop romanticizing war?
They haven't, we have a whole board dedicated to militaria and warfare. We don't acknowledge it but a lot of people, even newer generations, actively fetishize warfare, myself included. I love guns, military history and surplus.
Junger says that "war's an agreeable experience to those who have never witnessed it", but we live in a weird time where there are agitating philosophical undertones of "peacetime is agreeable to those who have never experienced it". I personally think desires are high enough and there are people, myself included, who'd want to participate if it were wartime. It's simply that we don't romanticize it the same way compared to antiquity and pre-modern history.
>inb4 there's nothing to romanticize about modern warfare
I jerk off to generation kill, anons that say this have never served or are blatantly unaware the sensual pleasures steyr augs can give a man.
