[quote="Sgt. Duffy":18668]You ever noticed as the more dangerous the weapons become, the less casualties there are? I mean, christ, look at all the Medieval wars...thousands die within an hour. Then there goes the Civil War...millions die, and the rifles are weak as guck...modern combat, and we got the most souped-up weapons ever, and somehow the casualties are only in the thousands (Not that thats not high, just compared to past history..)[/quote:18668]

umm........ conflicts have technically been getting worse with time.... The difference with wars back then were that most people died during the battles, with war nowadays, the battle field is an entire country, or the world... Sure thousands died in a short time span, but many conflicts back then could be finished in a matter of a couple battles.
