Let us persuade the Americans, who will doubtless win, to make sure they do so in the manner of Louis XV after Fontenoy. After that battle the king described the injured enemy as his people and said, "These too are humans," and "Our glory is to spare the lives of our enemies." Louis XV rejected the use of weapons that would have caused more harm than necessary and we should encourage the same through pressure on the Americans and the British. They must only do what is necessary to achieve the victory they feel they need. We can then stand back and say that any moral stance we took saved lives.
