You clearly have never fought and don’t know that supply lines and order are crucial to war. If combat devolved into some inhumane, amoral tragedy for every interaction, nothing would be accomplished. But war is about forcibly stopping an opponent, not about going crazy and ignoring all sense or rules. Chemical weapons require an insane amount of discipline to make, move, store, use, and dispose of some of the most dangerous ordinance imaginable.
“War is lawless” is what the naive say. Experience knows better.
Just because organized lawlessness looks pretty, doesn’t mean it stops being lawlessness. Israel and their genocide on Gaza for example. Great - they’re organized. They’re also violating civility and ignoring authority of the people who supposedly make the laws of war. Blocking aid, killing and targetting civilians…
Organization is simply enhancing the efficiency of your violence.
War is lawless is what people can simply observe. Experience apparently doesn’t know shit, because you’re way off the mark; you didn’t even understand the argument correctly.
