Has technology removed all honour and skill from warfare?

[ResonanceSD]

You can keep your honour. As far as i'm concerned, terrorists have no honour as they're willing to target innocents. The two people piloting the MQ-9 that bombs the crap out of a terror stronghold have far more honour.

Why?

Because Stealth, Laser Guided Missiles. That's freaking why.

War has long since stopped being about honor. The existence of a valiant defense against an evil force is an ancient concept, if it ever existed at all. War is a complex thing with no right answer, involving thousands of people fighting enemies they may know nothing about, on the vague orders of people they've never met for a conflict they may not even believe in. I'm not saying armed conflict isn't justified, but I don't think it usually has a code of honor about it.

As for skill, you still need to be able to point and shoot, so no, technology hasn't ruined that aspect.

yep...there's something special about combatants scrambling to kill eachother to survive. whereas these days its nothing more than a fatal game of hide and seek

That is a whole load of bullshit. You think soldiers today aren't skilled?

Also, battles in medieval times were huge clusterfucks where you got killed by someone you couldn't possibly have defended against, and you targeted people with their backs turned.
