I have a mere feeling that ubiquitous internet is rendering some of the important factor of war mongering moot. There's less delay, no week long lag in which you can enrage and enroll young people to go die for some imaginary cause. And as spectators too, I see stuff that I could not see even in TV days.. invaded people talking with lost invaders. The failures. The moronic jokes of troops during idle time. The wait.. the absurd nothingness. It just feels like waste.. an absolute void.

There's still a fair amount of BS (both camps are painting their own view) but the feverish theatrics are somehow dying.
