NOOOOO you can't just memory-hole the absolutely logical conclusion of millennia of Western philosophy by putting the word 'silly' in brackets, that's like putting wallpaper over a missing wall. At least say "(very silly and non-sexual)."
This week on the blog, we keep up our look at the (silly) idea of there being a 'universal' set of warrior values or combat experience by talking about the types of warfare, along with the experience of battle itself in different cultures.https://acoup.blog/2021/02/05/collections-the-universal-warrior-part-iia-the-many-faces-of-battle/ …

Really interesting read - consistent with primary souces I know. Oddly, this classic YA by a WWII veteren neatly brackets the "officers don't duck" / "everybody ducks" transition.pic.twitter.com/LMYt4ToMyT

It's ancillary to your thesis here but my interpretation of Fallout's "war never changes" was in reference to a point of the motivations for war - security, resources, etc - never changing. Is this accurate your estimation?

Thucydides is, I think, correct on the causes of war, though the three he gives might be present in different amounts in different wars. On that same point, check out Azar Gat, War in Human Civilization.https://acoup.blog/2019/12/05/collections-a-trip-through-thucydides-fear-honor-and-interest/ …
