Does it strike anyone else as odd to have a contest about who could have the most number of people killed in a war? I think accomplishing the goals and having the least killed is a better metric.

Hooray! Exactly what I was thinking.
Patton:
"It is easy to die for nothing, one should die for something."
"Of course, our men are willing to die, but that is not enough. We must be eager to kill, to inflict on the enemy, the hated enemy, all possible wounds, death and destruction. If we die killing, well and good. But, if we fight hard enough, viciously enough, we will kill and live to kill again. We will live to return to our families as conquering heroes."
"It is not enough for you to die for your country. It is to make the enemy think he should die for his country." (not the right quote, maybe the movie line was fake.)
Kevin T. - VRWC
"The pacifist actually refuses to defend what defends him; his country. In the final analysis this is the most basic immoral position."
