Regardless, without rules, wars will become uncontrollable. That's when the really bad stuff happens. Have you ever seen a woman raped, have her gentiles mutilated and then murdered after spending hours bleeding in agony? That happens. A lot. Perhaps you can attribute that to human nature, but I call it war crimes and I say that no victory is worth that.

thanks for the human nature thing... as you like to chime in that it's not a discussable point but yet it still seems to be a truism about humanity. Humans war. Humans like to hurt, maim, and kill other humans.
Controlled War?
how about more oxymorons like Jumbo Shrimp.
Waxing nostalgic about the honor of battle with lines of infantry is silly. War is war.
