IMHO. In the war your skin color, your gender, your age, your ancestors is means nothin'.
If on the other side will be a 8-year old children, the pregnant 12-year old girl, or the Pope of Rome himself, if the trigger has been pushed - the result will be the same.
Black you or white, on the war you will be grey, child you or an adult does not matter - on the war you will be called just a "soldier", or be more preciously - a target  , I have a bad humor, indeed...
The War is truly equal for anyone.
Me is a poet indeed .

That's not a war though, war is not a general term for mass slaughter of both soldiers and citizens between two sides where anything goes (WWII set a really bad precedent, WWI was a better example despite soldiers literally being herded for mass slaughter basic rules of war were adhered to). And the Cold War is actually a step in the right direction (albeit far from perfect), where two major nations do not assault each other's infrastructure or assault one another's citizens directly, but combat in specific theaters around the planet. Those nations certainly feel the full brunt of the war however, need only look at Indo-China and Korea and the mass slaughter of both military personnel and citizens to wonder wtf am talking about. In the larger scope though if we only consider American and the USSR (and their respective 'allies') the notion of great nations fighting wars without threat to home security to settle a regional dispute seems fine to me, if only more respect was paid to the locals (though with two sides going ham in a third party's country things are bound to get chaotic).

How on earth is this "the larger scope" when it deliberately ignores the suffering in less developed countries and reduce what matters into first-world country citizens. If anything, it is the smaller scope.

I think in the Cold War,the gender stuff was even the less difference between the men/women than in WW2 , and so-called WW2 happened an eternity ago, who even cares about such an archaic things . I am joking...
