  Military Ransom Metaphors
It supports Christ Con's argument that Christianity was a military tactic by the Roman state to consolidate the various pre-Christian sun cults under its rule.
Mystic surrendering means a particular kind of loss of individuality: the cessation of being deluded by the illusion of being a separate-self, a metaphysically sovereign prime-mover agent.
A strong candidate I'm proposing lately is that everyone understood the mythic-mystic-state meaning of all the myths and recognized the brilliant relevance of this particular story, which was set among "the Jews" as a fictional backdrop because the Jews generally represented the idea of loathing and resisting the domination system of Caesar.

 Crimes Of War Project > The Book
Military necessity is a legal concept used in international humanitarian law (IHL) as part of the legal justification for attacks on legitimate military targets that may have adverse, even terrible, consequences for civilians and civilian objects.
Second, even an attack aimed at the military weakening of the enemy must not cause harm to civilians or civilian objects that is excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
The greater the military advantage anticipated, the larger the amount of collateral damage—often civilian casualties—which will be “justified” or “necessary.” This flexibility also appears with regard to the prohibition of the use of weapons that cause “superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering.” The greater the necessity, the more suffering appears to be justified.

 Chapter XV: The Victory Sealed
When Winant talked to Smith on the 6th, Winant agreed that the Act of Military Surrender would accomplish the purpose with the "least controversy and delay." At his request, Smith had included in the short document a sentence obligating the Germans to accept the EAC terms as well, if they were imposed.

 Portsmouth Herald Editorial: U.S. military policy urging surrender saves Iraqi lives
One of the well-thought-out and potentially most humane aspects of the campaign in Iraq is the effort put into persuading the Iraqi military to surrender.
For months leading up to the actual attack, daily AM, FM and shortwave broadcasts from Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq and from "Commando Solo," a fleet of six U.S. planes flying over southern Iraq, tried to persuade Iraqi soldiers, amidst music and news, that Saddam Hussein was doomed in any case and not worth dying for.
Having the Iraqis surrender as intact units rather than a disorganized mob makes them easier to guard and care for and ultimately to disband.

 Chapter IX: Tripartite Agreements
More important than the WSC list were the concepts developed at higher levels-in the State Department and in the JCS that the surrender document ought to be brief, attesting mainly to the fact of unconditional military surrender, and that specific provisions to be imposed on Germany should be relegated to orders, proclamations, and ordinances.
As a matter of fact, British and American intelligence opinions were in considerable agreement on the effect of the unconditional surrender policy, and the JCS would before long appeal to the President-unsuccessfully-to modify it, by doing at least what the British were attempting in their draft surrender, namely, stating their meaning specifically.
Secondly, in December, War Department planning had assumed that outright military government would probably have to be maintained in Germany for a time after the surrender; therefore, the EAC ought not to devise a permanent control system, particularly not since its mandate was limited to the immediate postsurrender period.
