it's a fair point. but the reality of many wars reaching a point of "total war" ware both sides abandon any rules agreed to or even within their own cultural norms, it has a limit to how effective it will be.

surrendering in a losing war very early and quickly is wise, but few people who are running a country at war are wise or motivated by any form of loss reduction.
