it's less and less relevant.
With less and less care for civilian casualties (and cover up by declaring anyone over 15 a enemy)
With drones (they are imprecise, but see 1)
With less emphasis on actual ground occupation (the US as been unable to organize any democratic transition after a war since WWII)
With virtualization of war.
it's still relevant because the transition is not complete, but the clone war is coming faster than the new plane is coming, you can afford to lose a drone and you don't want to lose a pilot, you learn faster developing a drone program.

- ars 12y ago> With less and less care for civilian casualties Did you completely skip history class? In all of recorded history civilian casualties during a war have never been lower.
- Evolved 12y agoAre the statistics for civilian casualties lower because we've actually killed less civilians or because we've labeled more civilians as enemy combatants? This could easily skew the numbers in either direction very quickly.
- CamperBob2 12y agoDid you completely skip history class? No, I went to all of them, including the ones that discussed how governments lie by default.
