Gotcha, didn’t realize he originated that as well.
In a sense, war is all about acceptable losses to achieve the objective. You can rarely at most take/destroy a contested objective without losses, it’s about managing the losses so it’s a net gain on the larger board. People are going to die, just minimize it when able (if it’s worth it).
The raid in (episode 3/4 I think) where they decide to not call off the bombing run after the fog prevents the escort is a good example of this. They got sacrificed. It was the right call if it led to the ball bearing factory being destroyed.
The propaganda comes into play where “we couldn’t have known/they bravely knew and chose to fly/ect” vs uncaring command/cruel calculus/ ect
War doesn’t care about language, that’s how they are won.
