Roman-style togas and corkscrew cocks are too, I think. But maybe you go to different parties than I do.
@BiggusDickus, that's really good news.
A Bumper sticker from the '70's " War is not healthy for children and other living things!" .
No war isn't out of fashion just the way it is waged. We call it a war on terrorism because we don't know how to define it. There are major wars raging all over the globe many that we don't hear about. Many with Americans fighting them. How many of you knew that the U.S. Military was in Niger? Most parents don't know when there son or daughter are sent off to war unless the war is well publicized.
We have troops in Yemen, for example, and yet there isn't a peep about them. It is an ongoing full out battle with Iranian sponsored rebels. We have troops in some South American nations as well and they aren't fighting communist or drug lords.
It is hard to say how many people are deployed and how engaged they are that are from the U.S. military. It's safe to say that somewhere in the world there are U.S. Troops in an active fight with some group.
No war isn't out of fashion by no means. What gets reported and the way te war is defined has changed.
I agree with you, @Mykcob, yet what he BiggusD. posted were statistics on how wars (and dead people because of it) have really diminished in objective terms.
No land left to grab now and resource grabs don't require quite the same measures.
