"Every time we show the enemy our moral superiority—we get weaker. Every time the enemy brandishes his complete lack of morality—he gets stronger. Furthermore, every time he is presented with a new weakness on our part – he grows stronger still."

This is another fine math you are getting us into!

Allow me to elaborate though it's actually quite simple.

No one who respects laws can beat those who have no laws.
Morality alone has never won a war.
Those who adhere to no code of combat nor find any value in the lives of themselves and their enemies will always prevail.
Taking the time to distinguish between a combatant and a civilian is less effective than killing them both.

In other words, nice guys finish last. Always.

Thanks. There are times I wonder if there are those that willingly and knowingly handicap our armed forces and expose them to greater harm and danger - and then I wonder why?
