> Modern warfare very much has rules and laws

I have said this before, and this looks like a prime spot to say it again:

The only people who play fair are those who don't know how to cheat well enough.

Or those who care more about the game than about winning. Which, in war, is only the case for the side that's so sure of its victory it doesn't matter whether they cheat or not, so they can play the virtuous party for good internal and external PR.

Funny thing, that.

If you are in a war and are in the lucky a situation that you can prolong the conflict without much negative effects, "keeping the game going" is in fact waging a war of attrition.
