re: #272 MikeySDCA

In conditions like those in Afghanistan, the distinction is at best unclear. I would suggest that an approach based on swatting like bugs, is more mass murder than war. Your point is a good one, and it is not clear that mocern war can ever be honestly distinguished from mass murder.

Actually, today, mass murder is far removed from the warfare in the last century. War by the West today is pretty damn antiseptic.
