Interesting quote, but I think the history of warfare suggests that disregard for human life is the first casuality of war. When a group or nation develops a disregard for human life they then tend to do whatever is in their power to promote their point of view, perhaps the second casualty of war is truth. However, for the opposing side, defending life is honorable-even when it means sacrificing life. Kind of a paradox.
