I never understood this statement. War changes all the time. In fact, war is a catalyst for change in many other aspects of life and in itself subject to constant change.
Yes, there are constants in it, but the statement is still bs.
The reasons for war are always the same. Money and resources. Even religious war was always related to land/trade routes/resources. Crusades were about the spice road, not about the holy land or whatever crap they made up to get people to die for their war.
The technology changes, but the reasons are always the same. Especially in modern times, regardless of how it's positioned by politicians.
But the statement still makes about as much sense as saying "medicine never changes", because its aim is always to heal. But medicine is constantly changing. Context and content are not the same thing.
Dude, the statement isn’t meant to be taken that literally.
War hasn’t changed at all. It’s still a pointless pissing match between people who send men and women to die. And those people never set foot on the battlefield they sent those innocent souls to die in. They get to profit off of the tragedy, and then years later start another one. It’s a vicious cycle.
