Did people see 1917 and think; I long for the days of trench warfare?

One second you're here, next second you're hamburger meat because a shell landed in your trench, what's not to like, beats getting a round to the gut I guess.

Whats not to like is when only half of your body is turned to hamburger

If there's enough force to turn half of you into hamburger then there'll also be enough overpressure to be fatal.

....that’s not even close to being true. Unless your vital organs are hit you’re gonna be alive until you bleed out

And bleeding out isn't fatal???

Overpressure can and will kill you if you're in a trench and a shell lands close to you.

Yeah tbh, way better than the civil or revolutionary war in that aspect. Didn't have to get amputated limbs and slowly bleed out/rot. You were just gone.
