Why has nobody ever heard of the "Lopez Wars" c 1860, South America? Almost
within living memory... A war fought with musket, bayonet and machete that
wiped out 92% of the population of the losing side. The Old Testament too is
full of "take no prisoners" battles.
The idea that "look into the other guy's eyes before you kill him" makes wars
less bloody makes for good theory... not for good fact.
Rwanda was a good "war"?
