I didn't read it because I hate right wingers who say war is noble or spiritual enriching or whatever actual accounts of war are completely different. Watching videos of war in Ukraine recently it's sad. Watch your friend get blown into pieces all over you for no reason other than "they" get more money and power from all these nonstop wars Nothing good about that... I much prefer mountain climbing
Yea this is true. I feel like there definitely could be things learned from war just like any experience but how right wingers talk about war as if it’s “peak life” and everything else is below it is silly. Anyone that has actually fought in it will tell you it’s not all that.
My father was a freedom fighter and fought for completely noble reasons and he didn’t care much for the experience whatsoever. He talks about like it was just a normal kinda shitty day. It is how it is. I think people should try to stop romanticizing things they never experienced themselves

Evola laments this fact as well, you should read him. He's definitely not what you'd expect, i was surprised. He isn't glorifying modern war, he's explaining how in the Traditional (normal) view, it was a way to overcome the passions and purify your soul to reach transcendent states (immortality) after death, ex: Valhalla. He connects it to the ancient indo-European/Aryan civilizations.

Thats the fault of technology
War as described in the Illiad is the ideal
The least of your worries is about getting shot in war honestly. Starvation, disease, insanity, these are the real killers in war. Yeah, you might win, but you might also be paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of your life or have your feet eaten by rot and fall off by the chunk. Johnny Got His Gun is the best depiction of the mental hell that war is. You might only spend a month on the eastern front but you’ll live with that month for the rest of your life.
I wish you would describe why it was good and what you liked and disliked about it instead of posting a shitty one sentence thread. Forcing anons to reheat generic opinions about it in order to sustain the thread.

He would have hated that cover
>I much prefer mountain climbing
Evola wrote a book on mountain climbing too.
>Evola wrote a book on mountain climbing too.
No shit dumb ass why do you think I wrote it
What kind of cover would Evola have chosen?
He didn't care
No homosexual pics.
Not Evola but I'd go with indian miniature painting
The original editions of his books didn't have cover pictures.
A classy blank Scheiwiller cover
Why do you think it's his best work? Elaborate.
War is not necessarily physical. The wisdom can also be extrapolated to other areas of life, such as business.

Johnny got his Gun is one huge hypothetical. One big what if
Also, trenchfoot was a ww1 thing because the trenches got filled with water and the guys there never bothered to dry their feet.

Pic related is this entire thread
Why?
Looks like some airport historical historical fiction written by some burger. Awful cover .

Why does the cover make it look like a YA fantasy?
Isn't that what Ebola boils down to anyway?
War is the best environment for becoming 'arder
