	The Avalon Project : General Orders No. 100
		In modern regular wars of the Europeans, and their descendants in other portions of the globe, protection of the inoffensive citizen of the hostile country is the rule; privation and disturbance of private relations are the exceptions.
		A prisoner of war is a public enemy armed or attached to the hostile army for active aid, who has fallen into the hands of the captor, either fighting or wounded, on the field or in the hospital, by individual surrender or by capitulation.
		In exchanging prisoners of war, such numbers of persons of inferior rank may be substituted as an equivalent for one of superior rank as may be agreed upon by cartel, which requires the sanction of the government, or of the commander of the army in the field.

	The General War
		The war was savage (being the first to have large numbers of ships involved) but ultimately just another border war as the state of logistics made any deep strikes into enemy territory impossible to support.
		The Romulan decision to enter the General War is a fascinating study area.
		The remainder of the war was much as the previous years had been, an attrition battle along the original border punctuated by occasional major battles.

	War Is A Racket, by Major General Smedley Butler, 1935
		I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.
		This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits.
		Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War.

	John Brown Gordon, 1832-1904. Reminiscences of the Civil War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Generation after generation, in Congress, on the hustings, and through the press, these irreconcilable doctrines were urged by constitutional expounders, until their arguments became ingrained into the very fibre of the brain and conscience of the sections.
		General Ewell rode at full speed to the point where I was intensely engaged directing the charge, and asked me to lend him one of my staff, his own all having been despatched with orders to different portions of the field.
		General Ewell listened to her for a few minutes, and then called her attention to the Union batteries that were rushing into position and getting ready to open fire upon the Confederate lines.

	War Is A Racket - Major General Smedley Butler
		Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment – knapsacks and the things that go to fill them – crammed warehouses on this side.
		yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders – everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!
		So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people – those who do the suffering and still pay the price – make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.

	[No title]
		In brief, the purpose of the subject is to use the history of ideas and culture to gain insights into the nature of war and the combat experience, to explore the impact of war on individuals and societies, and to examine the impact of war on ideas and culture.
		When the study of war is approached from this direction the emphasis turns from the military leaders and the outcome of battles to the subjective experience of participants, eyewitnesses and, very importantly, victims.
		Modern war began with the formation of the nation state but this process of amalgamating provinces and placing the monopoly of the use of force in the hands of a national standing army was itself a very bloody one.
