When reading this excerpt I understood authors intentions, I bet, in full measure. As he mentioned - the war is murder, thousands of people fighting for particular idea and nothing can't stop them, neither moral issues nor ethical rules. All these people are guilties of a global crime and author at any price will not support such events.
