"the fact that you consider human life unimportant" - yet another baseless accusation thrown out - care to give an example - Not a FACT at all Gnome just your opinion which is basically worth S.F.A., made as it is on absolutely no knowledge at all.

"He has consistently said that the ONLY important thing in a conflict is winning. Only is an exclusive term meaning nothing else."

Dancing on the head of your pin again my bespectacled, rotund, balding little pedant. Unfortunately you seemed to have missed something and lost touch with one of the realities of war (Maybe GwegF will get on your case about that but I think not). When nations go to war with one another it normally results in death, or has your experience been different to that Gnome? As Keith A has said with regard to the First World War WE declared war on Germany and WE were instrumental in the ultimate defeat of Germany yet WE suffered the least number of dead, and as the number of dead seems to be your most important metric by which you appear to judge the conduct of that conflict then suffering the the least number of dead of the powers who were in it from start to finish is a very good indicator of just how generally well led our troops were.
