Topic: Random thought about war

War is the only situation where guys think they look cooler because they’re wearing more safety gear, even though it’s the situation where safety gear makes the smallest difference. Like soldiers will wear bulletproof vests and helmets, but like, the shockwave from ann explosion will kill you by causing internal bleeding inside your lungs. So even if there was no shrapnel it wouldn’t make any difference. You can also get brain damage from firing artillery shells because the shockwave travels through your brain even if you’re wearing hearing protection. Really, if you think about it, signing up for war is just committing suicide the hard way.

…also the suicide rates are actually higher than combat death rates but nobody cares about that.

Turns out killing people makes people who aren’t psychopaths wish they were dead. Who knew?

Tbh it was probably always the case throughout history, but only recently has society gotten sensitive enough to people’s problems that somebody bothered running statistics on it and they realized, "Oh wait, more than the war? 9 times more than in the war? That’s how they’re dying?"

Ur not wrong. non-US countries should find more creative ways to work for peace while not conceding to the maga, russia, n.korea, israel and hungary alliance. What I mean is, the 'culture war' is part their recruitment process which depends on sowing and inciting hatred, so this mind killer afflicts friend or foe in such a scenario, and any appeals to peace fall on deaf ears. Also, Poland will have to clean up the ground after pootin is dead so it would be better abandon the idea of cluster munitions on their border. He can't last forever. None of them will.
