In terms of technology sure I'd agree, but when I stated that the world wasn't any better, remember at the end of World War 1 it was labeled the war to end all war.
Man has become far more violent and ugly between the end of WW1 and his death.
We also have the capability to kill in greater numbers in a hurry.
Maybe I mispoke a bit, but the honest hope of all warriors is that one day we can all beat our swords into ploughs, that never happened. For all of the violence of WW1, it paled in comparison to WW2, after that it was war after war after war each with a greater capability of violence.
