>fpbp when has war EVER been le good? That's right, never.
In a movie yes, Conan (not sure if the name of the character is intentional) can only live through the horror of the war, and as soon as it ends he decays and die.
war until ww1 was good. lots of pride, low death rate.
ww1 is when war actually changed. theres a reason everyone thought it would be glorious, quick, and then later the war to end all wars. machine guns changed war forever
It's why ww1 is one of my favorite subjects, literally no European country knew how to wage war against other industrialized countries and had no idea of the consequences. The first few months of the war were incredibly chaotic and thousands of (calvary) men were ordered to run in to machine gun fire because neither the men nor the commanders knew any better
>war until ww1 was good. lots of pride, low death rate.
moronic zoomer.
the crimean war, american civil war, french and prussian war and the italian wars of unification were already miserable experiences for everyone involved and "modern" wars in a sense, but with less trench warfare and heavy artillery. the writing was already on the wall and the italian wars even led to the creation of the red cross because wounded soldiers were dying at horrific rates.
there was never any honor in war for the generations that experienced it, they were always glorifying the last generation's war like you are doing now.
even medieval knights in their armour got trampled and drowned in mud in the thick of battle
>just stand in formation and get shot at. if you don't get hit keep standing. if you fall but are not hit stand back up and get back into your position in the fornation as if nothing happened, with dead comrades all around you
lmao battles were absolutely moronic back then
>mfw I run out of formation and instantly get killed by a horse guy with an incredibly silly hat (it's his job to kill dudes on foot that aren't standing in line with their friends)
This
You’re a moron is you thought the movie was sincere. It’s obviously over the top satire of the way liberal societies depict war. The media literate viewer will notice the subtle jabs at the false antiwar propaganda narratives set up in the Kaiser’s cabinet
You can only take POW's when you have people to escort them behind the lines and it's safe to do so. Otherwise it's pew-pew, always has been like this.
The dumbest part of the remake was not including the most important scene when the main character returns to Germany. It literally resonates the entire theme the book/movie wants to carry over. Instead they added some Compiègne Wagon scenes to it which added nothing to the movie other than making it feel like a documentary for morons
Did they really do that? The ending is one of the main reasons giving meaning to the original story

That's moronic. The part where he comes home to see how poorly his family is doing gave him perspective on how the war was affecting his family and country, and gave him new resolve to survive so he could come back and take care of them. Why would they skip that?
>Why would they skip that?
well, we get 2-3 scenes of a fat German general feasting while giving unreasonable orders, so... possibly because they wanted to re-write the story to put all the blame on glory-seeking aristocrats. I have no idea
You've never been to war, homosexual. 2500 killed in Afghanistan and 4500 in Iraq, that wouldn't have even amounted to a battle in WW1, just a quiet afternoon on the western front.
You aren't more qualified to talk about this just because you jerked off in a port a pot after watching a dvd on base.
War is awesome, war is religion, we must always be at war for man to remain manly, send the women and lower life to be fodder so the men can fight as men in manly ways for manly glory.
Imagine going to war to kill men your age, that could be your bros under different circumstances because some boomer politician said so. Then you step into a landmine, lose your legs and have permanent nearly insufferable tinnitus and get the same goverment funding as a neet. War is not only immoral, but everybody who participates in it is also an idiot.
Thank me for my service maggot

These homosexuals are what happens when Hollywood and books educated an entire generation of civilian pussies to think LE war IS LE hell. It's a testament to propaganda really. Next they are going to start talking about PTSD or some gay shit.
What is the point of these threads? I mean it unironically.
It's not about controlling the narrative because OP rarely bothers to argue and no one here changes their mind anyway. It's not offensive enough to be good ragebait either. And it's not engagement bait because there's nothing to gain from engagament like on twatter.
I think threads like these are made by tiny imps of satan who don't have any power for big acts of evil and instead settle for wasting our time.
>It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

I mean, yeah, that's the thesis of the book too
the Germans and the English in particular felt that the war was futile
the french were in it for revenge and later for survival, the russians and austrians imploded, the americans were fed a lie
the brits and the germans, there for the beginning, had 4 years to crystalize the war as being completely pointless
read the book in high school and only seen i remember is them sneaking off to frick french girls. gonna go ahead and assume that didnt make it into the movie script
Yah they are. Wars are only fought because men that will never have to fight have the authority to start a war. Then poor bastards like that are forced to fight.
well, not really ironic as such. communists are always happy to take what others have - wealth, liberty, life, all for the people comrade. i know best how it will be spent.
Yes, don't be a frickin american that thinks war is a video game
Do understand that the last war fought on mutt soil ended over 150 years ago. Goblins are gonna be in for a rude awakening when shit comes home to roost.
>Do understand that the last war fought on mutt soil ended over 150 years ago
This is actually an endorsement of mutt fighting capability, since they don't have to defend their own soil (defending your own soil means you are losing). They are decaying but there will be no rude awakening
The land of mutts will never be invaded by an actual country but it certainly is under invasion by drug cartels who control parts of the border and influence the politics of border states.
>is that... dear god is that a soldier... having sex with... a prostitute???? >did a soldier kill... another... soldier? >DEAR GOD, WAR IS A SHAM, THE OFFICERS ARE HYPOCRITES, SAVE MEEEE
Westerners grow up on war movies showing how terrible wars are and learning that we need to strive for peace. I wonder if the same happens in places like Russia and China. I doubt it. Frickers will start another war god damn it.
Yes it is unironically bad for those involved
fpbp when has war EVER been le good? That's right, never.

notably the first world war was the first conflict in modern history where direct combat deaths killed more than disease

it's satire war is actually good since there are no fascists killing innocent bugs

Gonna go enlist in the Russia-Ukraine war or the Israel-Hamas war?
I thought they took thousands of PoWs. Why do they go around executing people on the ground in the movie?
You can only take POW's when you have people to escort them behind the lines and it's safe to do so. Otherwise it's pew-pew, always has been like this.

if you think it isn't, then why aren't you fighting right now?
>LE HORRORS OF WAR
civilians talking about war needs to stop
You jerking off in a port a pot doesn't make you a hero.
You are proof of how disconned civilians are from what war actually is.
I go to war every day, I'm a pizza delivery driver

What are you sharting your dick and balls off over, I said war is a state we must always be in so man remains manly.
that is unironically true. Men that haven't gone to war, aren't men.
men that haven’t hunted an animal with a spear aren’t men
Does running over ayrabs in a humvee count?

it obviously depends on the war but ww1 in particular was so utterly fricking pointless and ridiculous. everyone except the US was worse off
>war is immoral
wtf why didn't soldiers tell their enemy this to get them to throw down their weapon
I mean, yeah, that's the thesis of the book too
the Germans and the English in particular felt that the war was futile
the french were in it for revenge and later for survival, the russians and austrians imploded, the americans were fed a lie
the brits and the germans, there for the beginning, had 4 years to crystalize the war as being completely pointless
read the book in high school and only seen i remember is them sneaking off to frick french girls. gonna go ahead and assume that didnt make it into the movie script
Me too. And they stole a goose and drank the grease like pepsi.
why is everyone always smiling in picture of WW1? Sure makes you think, huh...
why tf can't I make a thread
keep getting the
>please wait before making a thread
even though I havent made one in weeks
Just fricking wait you impatient shithead.
War le bad but some things are worth fighting/dying for.
>war is...LE GOOD
I look like that and I say that
Yah they are. Wars are only fought because men that will never have to fight have the authority to start a war. Then poor bastards like that are forced to fight.
and what about every single fricking war before the 20th century? generals often died on the battlefield and the soldiers were volunteers
This anon is correct
there were very few wars where the men who started them weren't there on the frontlines.
ironically it's the socialist regimes that were most enthusiastic about conscription. the kings and generals wanted experiences soldiers.
even WWI had its biggest advocates fighting and dying in the trenches. Europe lost so many officers doing exactly that. Sorry but Paths of Glory lied
well, not really ironic as such. communists are always happy to take what others have - wealth, liberty, life, all for the people comrade. i know best how it will be spent.
>i went to war and now i am... le sad 🙁
wow such a fresh take
We will never have a film adaptation of Ernst Junger's Storm of Steel.
Yes, don't be a frickin american that thinks war is a video game
Americans think that because for them, war is a video game.
Do understand that the last war fought on mutt soil ended over 150 years ago. Goblins are gonna be in for a rude awakening when shit comes home to roost.
