A quote from a WWII General...

"The point of war isn't to die for your country, it's to make the other bastard die for his."

By.....me...Although I'm sure some one thought of that before me...

the point of war is to win and end a war as quickly as possible without losing many lives in the process.

i was thinking more of an individual's perspective. a soldier would want to kill as many as possible to lower the enemy morale and possibly make them surrender
