One of the most potent weapons of war is pain. War was described as "a sausage machine" by an American soldier Siegfried Sassoon. Maybe because of the brutal way the organs and tissues are crushed during a war. There is also a typical portrayal of the horrors of combat in popular films and novels.
There is a screech of high-velocity bullets and violent convulsions until someone is hit, and they either die or get lucky. Imagine seeing your loved ones with molten-red wounds squirting blood.
