Exactly @Workerbee23.

You piss me off enough that I actually go to war, that is, I'm not committing a criminal act and I'm not defending myself or loved ones from aggression -- I have gone to war -- and you can take all your "laws and rules of war" and fuck right off.

If getting you submit means I tear people apart and stack the torsos and limbs separately, so be it. If it means I stick the dagger in your chest face-to-face, so be it. If it means I blow your entire fucking town to bits and pieces of babies go flying, so be it.

Yeah, that's shitty. Well, duh. Of course its shitty. War is the most-shitty thing you can do! If you don't like that (and only a psychotic ASSHOLE does) then don't get people pissed off enough that they're willing to do it.

Cheapening what war IS leads to more wars because you've tried to take the horror out of it. That's backwards. The horror of war SHOULD BE in your face and it used to be before all our modern technology EACH AND EVERY TIME someone engaged in it. That's the BEST deterrent -- the certain knowledge that IF YOU DO IT it had better be worth it because you're going to have to deal with that horror.
