MAS*H was an amazing show and it was moments like that that had a lasting effect on my world view. I did not realize it as a kid watching it, but I do now.

I thought I was going to downvote this for just being an image link, however that’s a great point.
For those curious, it’s a meme-formatted exposition by Mash’s Hawkeye on why the saying ‘war is hell’ is wrong, it actually being worse then hell.

Also, even though it was set in Korea, it was really about Vietnam, which seems obvious now, but never occurred to me watching it as a kid.

War is usually a war between STATES that has very little to do with its people. People are just the cannon fodder of the state interest.
In cases like Gaza one side actually does have PEOPLE involved, Gazans, vs a STATE. It makes it much more clear who is in the wrong.
