"Will to win" and morality are not opposites.

Oh... Im not sure I agree there. I mean I agree that the guards are perverts who need to do hard time. But a lot of people draw the morality line in a lot of different places. Some of them in a place that prevents even going to war. I think morality and "we will win" can often be opposites for a lot of people. Maybe just not where you would draw the line.

I have the will to win this war.

I understand that some of my morals preclude using certain tactics and methods that may be effective, and that the war may go on longer than otherwise necessary. But that is the consequence of my beliefs.

Therefore, "will to win" and morality are not polar opposites.
