I think I'd rather be shot or droned in today's warfare than stabbed to death like in ancient times.

War sucks in any century. There were and are dozens of ways to die instantly and dozens of ways to die long slow agonizing deaths. That was true then and it's true now. Fallout says it best: War never changes.

Sliced to peices by swords, beaten to death with warhammers and maces.
