In the Civil War, only about 10% of soldiers actually fired therir weapons or killed someone. Years later in the Vietnam War, it went from 10% to 90%.

How?

The soldiers were 'drilled' and 'conditioned' to overcome the natural resistance of killing, similar to how they did in WWII.

Smh.

Actually, in the Vietnam war, they couldn't tell who the enemy and the civilians were, so they panicked and just started firing. That's why that war sucked. :3

From the moment you said the first sentence, this thread was doomed to fail. The Civil War had some of the bloodiest battles in history. (Battle of Antietam) Sure the soldiers spent most of their time killing time playing cards, but they were forced to sit there and guard as many places as possible.

What worse, it doesn't need weapons to cause this violence. Remember the blockade the North used to cut off the South's supplies? And Sherman's Sea Run cut the South territory in half in DAYS. Plus we took the Mississippi river almost right off the bat.

In case you're confused, here's the TL;DR version:

Go back to school.

@Neighborly,
I realize that now, I was mistaken about the Battle of Gettysburg; they had found 25,574 guns, but 10% of them were still loaded.

This should have ended with my last post. Because it's true.

Good point, I almost forgot about the most famous one...lol. Did you know that battle is also known as Antietam part 2?

Knoxville was a pretty bloody battle too.
