Not really that much different than it ever has. Lots of fire, lots of blood. Disease. Starvation.

I sincerely doubt that. Warfare changed a lot during the 19th century as industry changed what we could do to each other. What we can do now is far worse. And we have about 4x the population very dependent on cities. Very small segment of agriculture workers.

Industry didn't change *what* we could do to each other. Not even slightly. All it changed was *how quickly* we could do it to each other.

Those are intertwined. I'd agree with you except for 'very quick' means a lot less risk to me. If I send a wall of mach 2 lead down field, I don't care how big the enemy army is. [The trench lesson of WWI brought to the present]

After a certain point, quantity has a quality all its own. Ask a Korea vet about how that went in the face of human wave attacks.

The Chinese were willing. The Russians were willing. We aren't, so this is a fair point too.

I react kinda quick when I see what I think is doom-and-gloom pessimism. Everyone is kinda stressed right now, but we aren't actually all that bad off. I need facial expressions and Twitter just can't. Hmpf. 8)
