I would prefer a thousand casualties of honorable warfare than a single murder.
well good luck finding a thousand people who agree with you
but if they dont you can always kill them in honorable combat
I was about to say. War is never honorable when you get down to the gritty man-to-man
honourable combat does not exist anymore
and never really has
just people trying to survive by any means necessary
war is messy and doesnt have any winners
A soldier has an expectation that his life is at risk on the battlefield.
His death does not have an equivalence to that of a civilian shot in his bed.
there is no honor in war or killing someone
I respectfully disagree.
"Veteran: One who signed a blank check to his country for his limb, life and soul but survived."
there is honor in besting someone physically like there is honor in besting someone mentally
but war isnt fair
and it will never be
those gooks that are currently getting bombed the shit out of them?
Yes, anyone who says war is fair is a fool.
nothing honourable about that
If you have 100 thousand men to their 10 thousand, you don't have 90 percent of your forces sit at home to keep things 'fair'.
Says who?
You? Why?
sounds like pretty much the definition of honor to me
when you enter in a war your point is to win right?
doing X with fairness
and to win the war will you leave 90% of your army? no you wont because winning and surviving is more important than honor
Not if your goal is be honorable in the win. Though that rarely is the goal.
So, you do not recognize honorable conduct or rules of war in warfare?
can I post this here
Self evidently.
you can handle opponents with honor after you have won like respecting prisonors etc but winning? noone takes compromises for honor at the cost of winning
and you wouldnt either
Speak for yourself, please.
You may decide genociding a nation is a proper victory, but I do not.
can you quote me on genocide?
Rules of war, such as not firing on unarmed combatants is part of honor. People do comply to that even when trying to win.
Reason why there are POWs. If you wanted to win, it would be more effecient just to kill them.
"Honor is war is a luxury few can afford."
i wouldnt say o as pow's can be traded and makes people more eager to surrended etc
