Absolutely.

And on the topic of PR etc. why do some weapons have a bad reputation and others not? It was said for example that gas kills slowly and painfully, but like I tried to say in my first post, so do other weapons.

then there is the point that these rules may have saved countless lives so far, although I'd argue nukes have saved even more especially because they are so cruel and deadly that noone would want to fight a war involving them, especially not over smaller issues that may nowadays result in small proxy wars etc. where people die just as well. So in a way these rules make wars more acceptable that may not be fought at all otherwise and possibly shouldn't be fought at all.
Or in other words, politicians may be much more willing to abandon talks and drop a few bombs than they were if they knew that it would be displayed as a bloody mess for both sides (which it probably is either way, but killing with guns seems to be seen as "clean" for some reason).

Or, if you view your enemy as honorable anyway, why do you take up arms against them in the first place? Maybe I'm just not getting it into my little head but it doesn't make sense to me yet somehow.
