I agree, but ignoring all the personal commentary, and cheap shots aside, that is NOT WHAT I SAY!
Sorry, but you are very deliberately putting words in my mouth in the most simplistic form possible, and I have explained this to you before.
a.) Killing is instrumental to warfare. Yes/No?
b.) You kill only as many as it takes to set forth the policy. If the other side gives up when you've killed 2 pet hamsters, then you stop.
War is a human activity. Central to that is the breaking of will. I am only interested in killing,wounding,capturing enough to break the will of those remaining, - in the service of policy.
