Cannon Fodder is a short series of two war (and later science fiction) themed action computer and video games developed by Sensible Software, initially released for the Commodore Amiga. Only two games in the series were released, but were converted to most active systems at the time of release. The series has a clear, somewhat darkly humorous method of gameplay that perhaps even doubles as social commentary. The pre-mission screen shows a hill with a grave for each dead soldier, with recruits lining up in front of it and a sports-like score at the top of the screen. Soldiers each have unique names, while on the grand scale of things being nothing more than interchangeable cannon fodder. The tagline for the first game was "War has never been so much fun", and for the second (with a more sci-fi background, which included some alien missions) "War has only been this fun once before".

everyone should just butt out of everyone else's business.  I mean everyone, on all sides.

@Timsalt3100 I was not mainly referring to the recent wars, the so-called peace keeping missions. Today's conflicts causes and meanings are a bit more complex and I think there is not enough space here to discuss them. Older ones were, as I said, a simple way for few greedy men to obtain wealth and power through the sacrifice of the (usually indoctrinated) young ones and the rest of the people. Think about Nazi Germany or African Warlords, Spanish Conquistadores or Xerxes of Persia etc. etc.

@NikoBomber I know it makes you think of all the wars we have entered , Lybia , Iraq and Afganistan all these wars were because of violent and dangerous dicators and terrorists and the many indivuals we have lost as a result of trying to find them and stop there disregard for life will never be forgotten.

It's amazing how attached you can get to a pixelated character on a screen, eh?
