"Baudrillard argued the Gulf War was not really a war, but rather an atrocity which masqueraded as a war.[1] Using overwhelming airpower, the American military for the most part did not directly engage in combat with the Iraqi army, and suffered few casualties." So according to Baudrillard the goal of war is to have roughly even casualties, and long drawn out engagements that wither both sides? This is a low blow, and I apologize for making it, but it is a good point. France... the 1914 war... yep doctrinally sound.
