Actually, one may say that they have, indeed, contributed to taking the thrill out of war.
Speak to almost any veteran of WWII or the Korean war and they will tell you that they've never felt so alive as when they were in combat and dangerous situations. Smart bombs distance the danger substantially, remove the operators from life threatening situations, and reduce the whole experience to something more than watching TV, but quite a bit less than the danger inherent in close combat. Of course, the next argument as rebuttal will be that in the middle ages men engaged in hand to hand combat, and the wars of the 20th century couldn't compare for thrills and excitement. That may be true ... and that also implies that the march of technology has diminished the war experience. pfft! shel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The nest step in this thread will be that the Bard was > Un-American because he didn't belong to the NRA, and smart > bombs took the thrill out of war.
