Absolutely nothing, listen to me
It ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) It's got one friend that's The Undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away, oh

Artillery really removed the glorious nature people seemed to prescribe to war . Probably for the best frankly, glorifying war just gets you morons like Putin anyway.
The romans were certainly aware that war can reshape environments, but I agree with you that artillery (and to a lesser extent firearms) have rendered that particular school of thought defunct. Owen was right:
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
You're referring to artillery as if cannons hadn't existed for centuries before WWI that involved blasting away entire line companies in an open fricking field as just par for the course. As if warfare from roughly 1600 to the 1900's just didn't happen?
Already happened in the Odyssey when he goes to speak down in Hades to Achilles. TLDR its better to be a slave and alive then thr king of the underworld

cuckold ideology
>white people need a warlike religion so we can finally race war!
Go leave troony

Such is life.
I think the First World War kinda murdered that way of thinking about war.

>suffering in war never happened until WWI
okay
Stop being stupid on purpose

I mean extreme religious fervor removes most logical thinking so fair enough
