War aims and the ethics of modern warfare in Freytag critique
The piece deconstructs General Freytag’s Deductions from the World War, arguing his cool defense of civilian-targeted atrocity as part of a broader Prussian philosophy that war now pits states against peoples. It surveys the erosion of international law, assault on humanitarian norms, and implications for U S policy and war finance. The author condemns the cold logic that values victory over humanity and warns of future brutalities under Prussian military doctrine.
