What if we send our leaders on a 1-on-1 battle instead of a million men. We could save a lotta blood. The problem is that war evolves. It used to be small-scale and formal. Then the U.S. devised guerilla warfare in the Revolutionary War and suddenly that was impossible. If there was a way of enforcing the deal after the duel, this would work. But there's no way to prevent people from reneging. Also, what would that change? Suddenly, the best leader isn't the brightest or the wisest but the one who's best with a gun.
