A rollback to 1000 AD rules is ok with me on rules of warfare. One side fights that way anyway. It's a dumb and dead gentleman that insists on Queensbury rules when the chap on the other side is playing by barbarian rules.
To be fair, we need to level the playing field. You kill our families, we kill yours.
It's a war. I don't particularly think it's a good idea now, but it's all about breaking things and killing people. Our side needs to be the best at that so that get our politcal goals.
Otherwise, we need to go home and stay on the porch. Run with the big dogs, you ARE going to get hurt.
