@Ledswinger "That's what war is about. Kill, or be killed, and fuck collateral damage.."

That's killing your friends, remember? Sure, accidentally or inadvertently, but still your own side! If you were in Théoden's charge, you'd be the one wildly swinging his weapon (nominative determinism?) and injuring your companions!

The Geneva convention may be often breached, but it is part of what keeps us from becoming as bad or worse than those we fight. Protect civilians, care for prisoners. Who wants an endless cycle of escalating revenge?
