There’s no honor or bravery in conventional warfare.

History says otherwise. There’s always a war going on somewhere. You could take away all man-made weapons and people would go back to fighting worth rocks. It’s nature. As long as there is more than one person in existence, there will be conflict. It is what it is.
Less killing because you’re getting rid of all the most efficient means of killing people but not less war. You’d see more ground invasions and using thing like vehicles as moving payloads for explosives.
It would probably be longer and more brutal wars because the acquisition of territory would take much longer..

There were more wars and killing prior to the creation of firearms in the 19th Century than after.
See Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc.

there’s plenty of honor and bravery in “modern” combat. I don’t know why the word “conventional” was used. Even with drones, extended range artillery, thermal optics, reactive armor.
There’s someone creaking the rough dirt and rocks, right now, hearing pops over there head, trying to reach and help a severely wounded or already dead friend they met smoking cigarettes in training.
There’s a medic, right now, lying to someone that they should stay calm while he works. The medic knows they’re both about to Die because he can hear small area fire adjusting on them. He can’t dig or move because he wont be able to work on the patient. He’s hoping for the slim chance of someone else drawing attention.
There’s a group of guys, silently making eye contact for the last single second of their life. They’re hearing the short whistle of an incoming artillery shell, and understand it’s the end for them.
Someone is running across a road knowing the dirt flying up in front of him is coming from incoming rounds. It’s too late to turn around, and he knows that him moving forwards gives his friends/co-workers a better chance of success also crossing the road. He keeps going until he finds cover or he can’t.
Thousands of people die everyday involved in warfare. Not including random civilians. They do it for various reasons, but at the end of the day they’re doing something you aren’t willing to do (I don’t care about any useless “I would do it if…” hypotheticals). It’s a state of existence that you could never understand unless you’re there in the moment. There isn’t any reason to speak on it.
Mind your business and enjoy the peace you have, others aren’t as fortunate. It’s better for your mental health to just live your own life.

Yall done tore all the bottom of ya shoes w/me!!!
Bruh these old mufukkas used to have nikkas charging machine gun nests until they managed to get to it.........ain't no honor has ever been in war and never will be. It's the same reason bitxhes can't take Ls these days and come back shooting........there is no even match, someone is always better and the next step then is to find an advantage over that person until you can beat them......it's an escalation and it's where we end up today.......

Most of the killing is done from a far. There's no bravery in that. A drone attack in Yemen that kills 50 people is done by someone sitting in a room in Maryland or some shyt.there’s plenty of honor and bravery in “modern” combat. I don’t know why the word “conventional” was used. Even with drones, extended range artillery, thermal optics, reactive armor.

You all are missing the point. Most of our armed forces isn't built for old school combat. It's not even taught. So if tomorrow, all conventional weaponry gets replaced, most if not all conflicts with disappear. Except for maybe Africa or other places with old school weaponry in tribes.
As a matter of fact, The western world would look very different.

It’s actually done from Saudi Arabia, that’s who the houthis are fighting. They’ve actually been duking it out, on the ground for years. The not so well trained mercenaries that represent the Saudi’s and the Houthis have shown several instances of often fatal feats of heroism/bravery. The Saudi’s are using old shoe carnival model equipment we sold them way back when, and hiring mercenaries because we refused to invade Yemen for them.

LOL
there is still bravery, but honor is subjective.
