I've always found the entire concept of regulations governing conduct during war to be somewhat odd. War isn't a game like golf where the stronger or more skilled adversary handicaps themself to make it a more even contest.

Some are absolutely ridiculous. Like the prohibition on sharpening a bayonet.

No handicap? But... but.. that would ruin the quagmire! It would be like having a mudhole without mud! /sarc
