"World" "War" "One", eh? **Bah!!** Now, the Hundred Years' War - now that was a war you could sink your teeth into! A proper war, waged in the proper fashion. Back when men were *real men*, women were *real women*, and small, furry animals were often *hunted* for their *succulent meats*. Back then, people conducted warring in the manner that warring should rightly be conducted - they'd take a length of sharpened steel, go find the person whomst it is that they dislike, and proceed carve the lowlife like a turducken! Nowadays, people make war by sitting at their computer machines, pressing buttons on their control panels and none of them know what they're doing. They "*don't have the clearance*" for it. Because that's a thing you need now, apparently. "Clearance". Not good enough anymore to show up with a strong sword arm, enthusiasm for violence, and the willingness to stab pretty much everybody your nation-state isn't allied with at that particular moment in time. Used to be a time people with fire in their bellies and implements of violence clutched menacingly in their fists would *drive the invader from their lands*, but war has - in fact, and contrary to all of the rumours - changed; changed for the worse. Now, everyone just goes and fights endless, pointless, aimless skirmishes in sand-land. Even if they did somehow win (and they won't), what would they even ~~gain~~ conquer? *Saudi Arabia*? It's useless! Forget about it! Whole country's full of sand - and we know sand: course, rough, irritating, gets everywhere - and what's more, the sand's got Arabs in it.
