Ok i know im going off topic here but the type of warfare portrayed in LOTR (same as roman times), that is hand to hand, i wish that was how warfare is now. I mean back then you had to get into arms reach of your enemy, you saw him face to face, you stood a chance. Now or, with the advent of gunpowder, we lost that element. Now you can be shot without even knowing it is coming, shot in the back, have a bomb shot at you from 3000 miles away. Now you dont necessarily know where the attack is coming from, with guerilla tactics. There really isnt much honor in that, is there? I just think that war has just become so impersonalized. The guy with the AK-47 pops out of his hole and shoots you in the back, not haw i would want to go down, but thats just me. So what are your thoughts?
