re: #475 Obdicut

Yes. A lot of them fire over the heads of the enemy soldiers. That’s with muskets, of course. To shell them with artillery is a lot easier, to drop bombs on them even easier.

So what? It’s still not ‘necessary’ to do. And the modern US army does not teach soldiers to dehumanize the enemy. It is a calumny you’re heaping on them to claim that they do.

Funny, isn’t it, though, that the more removed they are from the face of the enemy, the easier it is to do? Wonder what that says about the idea that to kill a man face-to-face, you have to hate him first?
