[lit-ideas] Re: The things war never solves

Eric Yost writes, in response to something I'd said:

"Our military is very skilled at restraint. It's a protocol.  The exceptions 
are scandals.  Therefore one may assert that trying 'to find alternatives 
before firing the first shot' is a routine function of the US military."

I think that's exactly right, so I'm not sure why Eric saw it as qualifying his 
agreement?
