War is entirely different when it goes from "Jimmy heard that bombs were dropped on a hospital" to "here is a hospital where bombs are dropped. Here are the people trying to pull family members and the dead out of the rubble. Here is a cat feasting on the remains of a deceased person because there's no food in the area. Here is a man throwing the body parts of his child into a duffel bag so that he can bury them according to his religious customs."
War is a neat little 3 letter word. The brutality that war inflict should be mandatory viewing so that we know what engaging them costs regular people.

- maximus-decimus 3y agoI have absolutely no scientific basis for this, so take my take with a giant grain of salt, but I would be afraid it desensitizes people to violence or just traumatizes them, especially if they're kids. There's a reason you don't show the new Evil Dead movie with a zombie using a cheese grates people's eyes to children.
