Modern war is a missile that costs $80,000 being fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who won't make that in a lifetime. ~ Sebastian Junger
@reb_bamf in a conflict between two people on either side side who wouldn’t think twice about paying that much for a party. Or to cover up the party.
@reb_bamf The ultimate victory of capital over labour.

@reb_bamf

They should be using the $99 printed MANPADS 🤔

@reb_bamf
And what's more, the cost of that missile is being paid for with the taxes of millions of citizens who don't want war!
@reb_bamf modern war is a cheap drone taking out multi-million dollar equipment.

@Schafstelze @reb_bamf

Writing this as a joke, not as a rebuke:

Contempory war is about cheap drones taking out milti-million dollar equipment.

Modern war is about usage of muskets and light cannons that can be hitched to a horse.

@reb_bamf @gerrymcgovern

... for the benefit of a guy making $80 million.
