Curious how much of this is actually about making things 'humane' and how much is for recruiting purposes.
If you're running a war against a worthy opponent, everyone needs to get behind it if you have a chance at succeeding.
It's also a pretty despicable thing to have to get behind, and not everyone is going to want to on purely moral grounds.
If you can somehow soften the edges, at least in theory, you might be able to convince otherwise inconvincible segments of your own society to at least tacitly support the effort.
