Discussion Have you ever romanticized war?

[AutistSupremacist]

When I was younger I did. I always thought it was cool or masculine to go into battle. Especially after learning about the world wars, Napoleonic wars and revolutionary wars. As an adult now, I know war is not worth taking part in since I'll be dying for nothing (maybe Israel).

The only cool wars were back in medieval europe when the biggest threat was a bow and we fought with swords

 

[BPmonk]

Dude.

When I was like 11 I used to watch the clip from Saving Private Ryan where the American forces landed on Omaha beach several times a day almost religiously. War fantasies are a natural instinct most men have tbh.

Damn it, when I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming an army officer, I dreamed of receiving medals and orders, I even wanted to participate in the war, but when I turned 16, I changed my mind. Unfortunately, every government in the world abandoned its military after they became disabled and were no longer needed by politicans.

 

[underballer]

Yes before

 

[DarkStar]

Yes, constantly

I still do to some degree

I liked WWI & WWII stuff a lot, back in HS I felt that I could draw some degree of comparison between what I was going through mentally, though ofc I know what they went through was 100x what I endured.

I still have that "masculine urge to die in battle" at times ofc, but I know it's for nothing
