I disagree - I think making people more connected to it raises the cost of war for the people who tend to cause them, because of the political capital they have to expend on managing people who can see just how brutal it is, who have friends and relatives who are maimed or don't come home, etc.
My goal it's to End All Wars Forever! (TM), it's to raise the cost of waging wars for a society, so it's something we do less casually.
- dobbsbob 13y agomedia also has a hand in sanitizing war. they censor the images so stacks of mangled corpses arent stuck in your head when they should be. unbelievably my fearless leader uses a WWI memorial that reads "never again" to promote new wars every year.
