I see both type of war as a problem. Everyone that says we have everything better than our ancestors, forgets that the mind games being played right now are as bad or worse then what they went through in their day.
At least if this war were fought in the open with weapons, the causalities would be seen. They would be military rather than civilians. People that understand and have been trained for war. We would have distinguishable battle lines and associate wins as wins and losses as losses. And most of all it may not be threatening our beloved constitution. Idk. I guess we'll have to weigh the balance in hindsight, right?
