blah blah blah. they can try and convince themselves all they want that warefare can become "sanitisied" and "surgical", but at the end of the day somebody has still got to get in there and do the killing, especially in an urban enviroment.
look where all that technology has gotten them in iraq - in to a bloody street fight. and i dont care how much technology you have, you take a round from a dirty, 20 yr old AK47, you are still going down. you step on a bomd made of little else than primitive explosive and nails, you and your buddies around you are going to loose limbs, maybe more.
war is hell folks, we can kid ourselves that technology insulates us from that reality but its all about the killing at the end of the day. it will never be a sanitised operation.
