It's always interesting to read actual accounts of soldiers and see how they felt about war. Ernst Jünger fought through WWI, was wounded repeatedly, and (spoiler) was on the side that lost, but he still felt that war was a good exercise, a testing ground for the morals of men and place to forge pure friendships.

The mythology of disillusionment is powerful, but ultimately counterproductive, as it only makes soldiers who do enjoy war (of which there are many) feel bad about themselves, and lead them to believe there is something wrong with them and that they are the only humans to feel this way.

Jünger could accept the war, atrocities and all, and still not be immediately repelled.
>>
>>43699976
I think it depends a lot on what war we're talking about. Part of why disillusionment is such a common theme is because Vietnam still looms large in the American consciousness, although most people don't realize it. And disillusionment was the flavor of the decade when it comes to Vietnam.

>>
>>43699976
Like >>43700159 said, Vietnam was what changed the perception of War, mainly because so many of the kids who got drafted and sent over never came back or came back with PTSD.

A good portion of fighting in a War also has to do with fighting FOR something, and not just Fighting. Something that a good number of Modern Wars lack.

>American Empire

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Truman decided he wasn't going to take any shit from Stalin and dropped an Atom Bomb on the Kremlin as soon as the war ended.

I'm betting that the Initial American Invasion wouldn't have failed.
>>
>>43699976

Sure, war is great if you're a soldier. It's terrible if you're just, well, anything else, and suddenly all your weekends are ruined for the forseeable future by the bombings and burnings and raping and such.

With the prevalence of PTSD, Depression and Suicide among veterans, the Modern Day Soldier really doesn't seem to enjoy War that much.
>>
>>43699976
Like, it's a dual sort of thing.

There's some pretty shitty parts about war and fighting, and it can do some pretty fucked up things to you.

But well, part of you still misses it, because there's nothing really like it. Combat high is a fucking hell of a thing, and there's so many things about it that are amazing.
>>
>>43700296
>I'm betting that the Initial American Invasion wouldn't have failed.

Yeah, because that's what would have happened. Never mind that troops in the Pacific nearly mutinied at the suggestion that they carry the war to the Home Islands, the Americans definitely would have been able to stroll right into Russia and take it over, no sweat.

I don't. It's a relatively recent thing to /tg/ and honestly I think they've actually been getting better.

See the way these work is the content tends to improve with each thread because people just reuse the good pics they saved from the last one. But if you're routinely visiting them you get the impression that they're getting worse because it's just the same joke over and over. I haven't been to one on /tg/ for a few months now and I'm getting a chuckle out of quite a few of the filenames here.

for at least 9/10ths of the military, it's a shitty paying office job with millions of special arbitrary rules that govern every minutae of their existence, with bosses largely too stupid to make it in the private sector.

It does not surprise me that a fair number of these public servants get a rather severe case of the mondays.

no not really, america has backslid into an oligarchy that poses as a democracy. What would we have gotten if we "won" vietnam. We only went in there because the french were utterly retarded with their local colonies. Assuming we won that mess we'd be dealing with occupying it and trying to keep out the commies. (see afghanistan, both our time there and the british and russians before us)

don't kid yourself, the military spends money on stupid toys, the politicians distract the public with stupid wars, and vital social institutions are being privatized while things like Anti-Trust laws and economic conservation have eroded to the point of meaninglessness. If we "won" vietnam we'd just be a more imperialistic jingoistic mess than we are now.

But anon, we did win; the Vietnam war was a success, and it was only anti-war protestors and democrats that prevented America from re-entering the region when NVietnam broke the peace treaty, resulting in an overall loss of the region.

To be fair, we've been fighting a constant war in the region, there really hasn't been any time for traditional colonial development.

Entry into Vietnam was widely supported after the Gulf of Tonkin incident (which, interestingly enough, was partly a mistake. Consensus now is that the second attack was actually just false radar returns). There were two things that destroyed public support for the Vietnam War. First was the peacetime draft. You really can't understand why people opposed the war without talking to people who were alive at the time. Everybody knew at least 5 people who were fighting. Every adult male aged 18 to 26 was frantically finding a way to avoid the draft, whether it meant going to college, getting married, or getting a job in an "essential" industry. Second was the way the war was waged. I could go on about this bit, but highlights include free fire zones and the focus on body count, both of which resulted in massive civilian casualties. You put pictures of dead Vietnamese babies and burning villages on TV and you're gonna see public support disappear in a heartbeat.

To attribute the anti-war movement, or the American withdrawal from Vietnam, to the hippie movement is historically incorrect. By 1970 the hippie movement had lost most of its energy, a victim of the Altamont Festival and Charles Manson, yet the withdrawal of nearly all US troops from Vietnam happened 3 years later.

But all UA organizations are very… not traditional cabals in their representation, even if it what they do. Mac Attax are random dudes in burger joints, Inquisition are a company etc. And when lots of people with very different but very zany worldviews come together, it should look more… rag-tag.

No, the alarm activates when the detector stops transmitting a signal. This happens when the arrival of photons on the detector stops. Which happens when they get "frozen" in air.

Not quite. It activates when the receptor stops receiving a signal.

That's among Veterans, who are sad about being back in society not in war.

It's true, what we call PTSD is actually just the fact that reasonable habits like ducking for cover when you hear gunshots or sirens, or shooting that damn gook before he can shoot you, don't translate well into civilian life.

Soldiers with PTSD often want to go back to war, where things made sense.

First, the body counts are wildly inaccurate. An officer's performance was judged largely by his bodycount, which created a powerful incentive to artificially inflate those numbers.

Second, you can get the greatest killcount in the world, it doesn't matter if everyone hates you and wants to kill you. The Viet Cong (which was composed of South Vietnamese communists) was eventually so strong that they were able, with supplies, support and some additional manpower from the North, to mount a major offensive in 68. This is an irregular, guerrilla organization mounting a campaign like a regular army. When that happens, you have done fucked up.

Ah, but you see, Germany was destroyed in the end. It's not how many people you kill, but how many people you kill in relation to how little of your men are killed relatively.

If a 100,000 man army goes up against 100 men, it doesn't matter if those 100 men kill 900 a piece before dying, they still lose.

That's why fighting an entire nation is so terrifying. Looking at the projections for Operation Downfall (invasion of Japanese home islands at end of WWII), it's absolutely horrific. A similar, though not as drastic, effect happened in Vietnam. Fighting a war against an entire population, or even notable segments of it, is not feasible.
