Rules of Warfare:
".... experience has taught it [the army] that its mechanisms of command and control can only be kept functioning under stress if officers will scrupulously obey the rules of procedures. Those rules allot fixed value to all individual and groups on the battlefield - 'friend', 'enemy', `prisoner', `casualty', - and impose strict limits upon what can be offered violence, and in what circumstances." John Keegan, The Face of Battle,p.51
