      No. Don’t set cities on fire. People live there, it’s wrong to harm them.

      Maim their military, kill their leaders, destroy their weapons. That’s what is right to do. Than let them learn to life in peace with their neighbours.

          Ok then, howabout:

          Shoot their soldiers, rip out their living goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of your tanks.

            Oh yeah, it’s right here in the service manual. “Enemy entrails should only be used as lubricant in an emergency, when a a superior petroleum based lubricant is unavailable.”

        Sorry that’s ridiculous. That’s not even what is best in life.

        No, what is best in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
