I guess we also have to think about WHAT kind of war we're talking about...no offense to the brehs who were in Iraq, but I get the feeling that the US army has enough technological means to make that war "less worse" (again, no offense, hear me out here)...toilets, doctors, means of communication with the homeland, decent food...I'm NOT saying it's all gravy, isolation, suicide attacks, heat and all of that must make it extremely hard...but being at war in East Congo? shyt sounds like a whole different level tbh...malaria, coked-out children soldiers, rape being used as a weapon of war, machetes and all that...Not sure if I would choose THAT kind of war. (and yes, that "rape as a weapon" includes "soldiers" getting raped, THEN killed). So Iraq with an army from a developped country? Ok. War in Eastern Congo with some rag-tag rebel group? No can do, might take Prison (send me to prison in Norway
