MPC, if people insist on war making, everyone puts a uniform on and have at each other and not civilians. Baghdad, London, Warsaw and NYC are off the menu. Did you ever wonder why Bomber Harris isn't a hero? His efforts (along with the USA's), did little to end WWII and wasted valuable assets. These raids, on both sides ,mostly managed to murder civilians. It might also be said that these raids prolonged the war.
In North Africa, the war was said to be a 'gentlemanly war' (an oxymoron, if ever there was one!). Supposedly, neither side mistreated soldiers or civilians. Yet, when a combatant was caught without a uniform on, he was summarily shot.
Naturally, I won't say that the people who clamber most for wars, wear a yellow ribbon - on their spines.
I really don't see why my prior post obviates prosecuting a war.
