“Unconditional surrender,...”
But only AFTER absolute destruction of the nation and it’s warriors. That’s the only way the lesson “takes”.

I’m not sure what you mean by “the nation and it’s warriors”.
If by “nation” you mean its institutions, and by “warriors” its unrepentant and committed soldiers and leaders, then I agree with you. That’s what was done in Japan and Germany. I believe the Romans did this as well. And the jihadists practice this too.
