F*ck the Moral High Ground...

.... doesn't work in Iraq, and it doesn't work in anywhere else. When you're engaging an adversary, putting yourself at a chivalrous disadvantage to please the court of public opinion makes you less effective on the ground, where effectiveness is the only metric that matters.

Fighting "dirty," using whatever means available and necessary, is what succeeds most efficiently.  Gentlemanly fisticuffs will always end up a bloody heap when confronted by UFC brawling, writ whatever size, on whatever field.

Agreed. One must be fully commited to the destruction of the enemy and focused on that goal to the exception of all else. Just finished re-reading the Book of Five Rings and that is hammered home constantly. Fight to kill your enemy. Period. Dot. Anything else will lead to your own harm. To play nice while the other fights dirty is just fucking stupid. Fight Dirty from punch one and don't stop.
