Some people benefit from wars.
Politicians gain support and influence, military people get honour and glory and see a justification for their existence, and war industries make good money from war. As a result a degree of morality has been sought to be imposed on war in terms of rules and regulations such as the Geneva convention. There is now a new morality in the technique of waging war - something that seems to stem mainly from the US's experience in Vietnam. Minimize civilian casualties directly related to military action on the side of the enemy. These lead to adverse press and ultimately may lead public opinion in a democracy to oppose political will.
