First Strike

  “…It would be a travesty of the purpose of the charter to compel a defending state to allow its opponents to deliver the first fatal blow.” –Lord Chancellor Kilmuir before the House of Lords So it is with war, which is followed by bloodshed.   Choosing to go to war with a first strike may be a wise move militarily but consider the consequences.
