#5 Somebody Wins and somebody Loses. That's WHY they call it a War.

The Purpose of a war, its reason for existing, is to make somebody LOSE. To take everything he has and then kill him. To take is choices away from him, to cut his options down to Zero. To back him into a corner and stick a knife in him.

Bullying is too nice a word. Intimidation is too. That's just the beginning. The word "Lose" doesn't really cover it. You want him dead. Turn out the Light and lock the door.

The UN laughed? They giggled because they didn't understand.

#7 Is that you, Hemingway? As far as I can tell, the purpose of war is to force the other guy to surrender. Not just go through the motions, but to completely give up, permanently accepting the new reality. If some die along the way and some of their stuff turns to rubble, that’s ok. But killing is not the objective, merely one tool in the toolbox. And genocide is definitely not the objective.

So no, you don’t want him dead. How can he surrender and learn to live with the new reality if he is dead?

#8 The truth, as always, is somewhere in between - kill enough or maybe a bit more of your opponents to make the rest of them surrender & lay down arms under your conditions.
