You're confusing the tools of war for war itself. Despite technology changing, the tactics of war and the outcome of war has not ever changed. The enemy's commanders and leaders must be arrested, tried, and sentenced for an unconditional capitulation and surrender to be realized. Anything less is an armistice and a truce.

Yes, they need to face justice, I was just talking about what I perceive to be a difference in the way the war is won and the point in proceedings that it is won. I didn't mean we should let anyone escape justice.
But, we are not anywhere near saying the "war is won". Don't declare victory on the battlefield when the war is still waging. You'll be the first casualty.
Resuming vigilant mode!
