War, a larger scale duel

well, we all know that duelling (shooting somebody 20 paces away with pistols to settle your differences with the guy) is now prohibited by law, and its considered murder/attempt, but if we think about it, wars are no more than larger scale duels, but causing the deaths of many but the 2 (or more) asshats that hate each other. so, why can a president/general send millions of soldiers to kill and die, and people love him for that, but if he personally kills his opponent, people hate him and call him "murderer"? makes no sense, don't you think?

Because with these so called "Larger scale duels" there is always something at stake. (I.E. Peace, the lives of millions.) You can't duel somebody now because most of the time it was an unnecessary battle over some stupid reason, and lives were needlessly lost.

I don't like writer's block, I prefer to call it writer's parry.

wars are pointless dude. they never solved anything besides the ambition of some old general/king/president. the few exceptions i know are revolutionary wars (like US or south america).

plus, the topic isnt about what are wars for, but why if you send millions of people to kill and die, people love you, but if you personally kill 1 or 2 people, the public thinks you're an asshole.

Because wars are supported by the majority of the populace, and murder is condemned by the majority.

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

You wrote a bunch of bullcrap, if you personally kill as a soldier you would be hailed a hero.

 

If you are the president and you kill a war enemy you would be hailed a hero...
