<<Yes but it seems like we could take a slice at any time in history and be able to say the same thing: death-at-a-distance vs. hand-to-hand combat combat.>> I've had conversations with a bomber pilot from WWII and his feeling was they were bombing and if someone got killed they shouldn't have been there. I also have coffee with a grunt from WWII who was in the second wave at Iwo Jima. He complained that by the time he got there, the number of enemy to be killed was reduced. He caught up in Korea. OTOH I've talked with a guy who did INTEL in Japan during Vietnam and was upset 20 years later about Cong being killed from what he passed along. I think it's more personal than distance.
