A bagua fighter armed with a knife in 1885 had to fight in first person with no protection looking another folk in the eyes and knowing that if he did somthing wrong he might get cut, loose an eye or bleed to death
fist vs fist, knife vs knife or attack modern war machine vs modern war machine same same same ...

so are you to imply that the modern solder is not aware that at the push of a button he can kill or be killed.

Does anyone really think it is the same?
you think there is "almost zero risk" i think that is a mistake. it it was the modern war machine vs a knife wielding bagua man i agree the modern would be at very little risk
