>>98574 (OP)120 years ago people were excited to go to war, genuinely excited, and everyone said they were great adventures, until World War 1 came and people came home with the special silence that comes after finding it was all a lie and watching your friends get blown up in a field
In world war 2 there was a real tangible threat, people previously didn't want any more wars but they also didn't need any explanation for why they had to fight, hence they are the Greatest generation
Now wars have no purpose. "And they used to arrive to camp already broken"
Especially if you lack purpose after seriously trying to find one, and don't mind dying, you do what you want. If you survive, nobody really cares, it's just a job with shit pay for lesser rights and harder work. You worked for somebody else's strategy, somebody else's profit
If you think you want to go and kill people, just go and find God, because there are far too many people in the world to make any meaningful difference alone for whatever you want to happen
but anyways that's just a thought
