3. Be Careful What You Wish For

Killing efficiencies today are probably higher than back during the Civil War period. And I'll add there was a lot more brutality on the back end of WWII (on the eastern front) than what most American's are familiar with. An awful lot of ethnic cleansing took place in eastern Europe after the final solution was fully implemented by the Nazis. People who had literally played together as children in the 1930s skinned each other alive and hacked each other to pieces as the Russian army pushed the armies of Germany back to Berlin.

I realize we currently live in a hyper-partisan world and the hate being stoked by our politicians is setting us all up for potential extreme violence towards each other. And truth be told, I'd have not better satisfaction than seeing some of these MAGA's get a fist to the face but there's a fine line we're all dancing along. Cross it and there may be no turning back. And in the end, war is a dying business.
