There's a bit of interview from an old History Channel documentary that has always stuck in my head. Sadly, I think the source is lost to the mists of time; this was back in the Roger Mudd era when there were no rednecks, Jesus, or Ancient Aliens on the lineup. Maybe a Modern Marvels on future weapons... But in any case, they were interviewing a crusty old veteran of WW1, and he said something to the effect of "You can have all the planes and tanks and new gizmos, but you're still going to have some poor bastard in the mud to winkle the other poor bastard out of his foxhole and make him sign the armistice."
