I think war is somewhat less civilized than it used to be. Back before world war I, war was about tactics, the goal being to rout the enemy to attain victory (at least in warfare of the European kind) rather than kill everybody.

Since world war I though, war has been about attrition, and the increase in weapons technology just increases the horrible slaughter.
