[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1489910, member: 17845"] It definitely signaled an end to the era of "civilized warfare." There used to be an accepted system that involved diplomatic protocols, rules of warfare, open and clear delcarations of war, and the concept of sueing for peace when one side was ready to capitulate. None of that is done anymore. Could the Axis have won if they played dirtier (and it was not just the Allies who bent the rules, particularly in the East) ? Perhaps. But the world is on notice now. Nothing is off the table. Particularly if you are fighting America. Heck, look at how we treat civilians in places we have not even declared war but are still drone striking their wedding parties. If that's how we treat sovereign citizens of countries we are technically at peace with, there is obviously no limit on destructiveness and barbarity when a state of war exists. Let's hope we don't live to see one, because it will be horrible. [/QUOTE]
