What do you think of this assertion?
| Wars end when both sides decide they can gain more from a negotiated settlement than from continued fighting. |
I’m sure that’s how some wars end.
I thought others end when one side beat and the other side lost.
Whatever.
I was ready to finalize and publish this post . . . .
Then I came across this that seems to contradict what the above fellow wrote:
| We are not going to beat this enemy unless we get serious about it. |
So this guy thinks war is about beating. Somehow I doubt he meant scoring a diplomatic win.
Like I said, whatever.
