Re: You know, for anti-war dudes...

But hey - c'mon... they'd built it already, right? Nice and shiny... must've just seemed like a pity not to use it... Besides which, as well as building it, they'd PAID for it, godammit!

Going back to the 'training soldiers' thing, it's interesting how attitudes compare. Western armies try to turn humans into - essentially - killing machines; which is why when they're successful, what emerges is a very bad human being.

Older philosophies stressed that you had to be arounded character to be a warrior - art and intellect were just as important as fighting ability. This was most notable in eastern philosophy, but not limited to there (think of Cyrano de Bergerac etc).

I guess that as war got mechanised, the people doing it got put through a production line as well.
