Battlefield Weapon Popularity Trend

Thus spoke Ramon Diaz-Uriarte (on 2006-09-27 11:01):

The "resisted" believing all the buzz,
e.g.: "armies made of dudes with guns" ...

(and tried to preserve their Art,
which did not work in the end -
"the Art of Killing" was replaced
by "mass production of deaths" on
the battlefield ...)
