I find this kind of warfare so disturbing. Nothing will make me empathize more with Russian soldiers than seeing cowardly weapons like these being used against them.
So how do you feel about artillery? You know where you just fire a shell from miles away and never even have to look at the people you're going to kill - or even verify that you're hitting the right person.
It's from Frederick the Great, so definitely a hawkish aristocrat; however he was very well aware of how to use Artillery since he is probably the greatest European general outside of Napoleon, and was extremely innovative with artillery.
The comment is really about the fact that the use of artillery requires a great deal of maneuver and positioning, rather than hurling troops at one another.

Artillery adds dignity, to what would otherwise be an ugly brawl
Is this a quote from a hawkish aristocrat who never saw a trench?
