      Fighting WW1 like it wasn't the first modern war is how it got so bad! The French Army was still dressed up in bright blue and red as they marched in file only to be gunned down by machine gun fire.

      ​@@CamstonIsland Actually I think it's the other way around. making the war a fully industrial enterprise is what made it so awfull. four years of selling and using increasingly vicious weaponry

    • @samuelmellars7855

      ​@@nanardeurlambdathey already had machine guns before WW1. There was at least one case of a junior officer beating a superior officer at war-games/training simulations because they understood the impact of the machine gun. Those officers who understood the future of warfare were of course then *immediately* ... told to stop commanding their troops like that and to follow restrictive guidelines so that the superior officers won the war-games and wouldn't look bad.
      So the command gave orders as if war was being fought the old way, with riffles and massed fire being great, and the soldiers killed each other with machine guns and shells and poison gas, in the new and quickly advancing method of warfare.
      It was a massacre on both sides, because they all had new industrial weapons of war, and still tried to fight the old way
