@breadfan7433 Yeah these are all allegations that don't actually hold water in the real world. It's essentially atheist cope and exactly the issue he's speaking to. It means your only view of human history is at most 200 years old and more likely, only about 80. I can tell because you said "humanism hasn't been around that long" when those forms can clearly be seen in the historic record with Plato honestly being a good example. Hell humanisms actual starts in the Italian Renaissance was generally off the tail of an atheist streak in Italian universities. Ultimately the humanist philosophies by putting humanity first, do treat him as a god in his own right. They deify his status as one who can carve the world. It's not a humble philosophy and even the alleged "arrogance" of "the world being created for you" comes with asterisk of "Yeah you humans really can't do much alone" which ends up at a completely different characterization. Now, this is just intellectual masturbation so I'll leave you to stew in your own arrogance as you no doubt type a response somehow refuting everything I said.

I think the American warrior class is such a new phenomenon that it's almost irrelevant. This is that for most American wars they were fought by citizen soldiers. While it's only now an increasingly small pool of people to draw from.

@HornoResident I think that depiction of the Union and Confederate armies is pretty disingenuous, especially since the union had similar casualties to the confederates. In fact, they lost a lot of their officers early into the war since many were cavalry officers, and those died very quickly. Not to mention the western generals who basically mopped the floor with the confederates beyond the Mississippi. Not how the casualties of Grant, the man called "Butcher" on the union side, were lower than even Robert E Lee. Finally is the fact that the confederates were on the defensive and thus should've had a much lower loss rate than the offensive union.

@Jim_Eagle I think you're right on that. To be fair it's the big wars who draw from those generalized populations while it's the smaller ones who draw from that small class.
