@neynar I have seen shocking footage of Russian soldiers killing themselves and their fellow soldiers for the last 4 years of this war.
What are some examples throughout history of war of soldiers killing themselves instead of fighting in battle? I can think of the Macabees in Judea, for example.

@neynar is it a war crime to drone strike helicopter pilots who are escaping a shot-down helicopter?

1950s us military planners believed you could sprinkle a little nuclear war into your battlefields in the form of tactical nukes
read the NSC-30 and NSC-68 from the Truman administration and you’ll see a normalisation of battlefield nukes, with 300 planned nukes deployable for operation dropshot against the USSR and John foster Dulles offering France two nukes to break the 1954 viet minh siege in indochina
it is likely new players on the nuclear battlefield would act equally casual with their new toy

What an interesting thought -- military defense and private market products are cyclical leading indicators of what comes next.
There hasn't been this much rapid innovation of weapons since when?
A list of military innovation, according to chatGPT.
