I was actually shocked when I heard that play. Partly by its extreme violence, and partly by the fact that it wasn't modern. However, when you go back to the various European wars, it's clear that pretty much every conceivable atrocity was acted out at some point in the past. It's a conceit that we think that we're more sophisticated in violence than those "rubes" in the past.
