      Why would you invade a sovereign country that is vastly superior to your drunken, backwards, dishonorable orc-nation?

      Stupidity. That’s why

      Edit: I don’t think the stupid orc had shoes either lol

      You’ve seen their torture videos? Since when are Russians gentlemen? They want to take a dump, they can go take a dump in Russia.

      In my college philosophy class, we had to read many a book of first-hand accounts of the battlefields during both world wars. Compared to some of the shit that went down in those books, I’d say this is quite humane and honorable.

          Man, I can’t remember the name, but a specific one that I particularly remember was from WWII on Peleliu in the Pacific Theater. The entire book basically showed how humans go from people to straight up animals in survival mode. One part towards the end that really stuck with me was when the americans were trying to breach the last Japanese defensive position over the course of a week or so. The author talked in graphic detail about how it looked the second anybody peeked around cover and they’d be gunned down, and he couldn’t shoo the swarms of blowflies away from his rations because they were so slow and bloated from feasting on the piles of american bodies around the fort.

          One title I do remember was All Quiet on the Western Front, but that’s far less raw and graphic than the one about Peleliu

          Edit: All Quiet on the Western Front was at least partly fictionalized, IIRC

          EDIT EDIT: FOUND IT, IT’S CALLED “With the Old Breed” by E. B. Sledge

    Does anyone else get irrationally upset when people put music over combat footage? It’s a little psychotic.
