Yes, very strange.
Also a problem with wars is that all the money you put into it seems to disappear in puffs of smoke. Worse, you build a bomb for a million dollars, you throw the bomb and then you are happy when the bomb destroys stuff for 10 million dollars and it is called a good investment. Now let's say that after you conquer the country you threw the bomb at, you're actually responsible for cleaning up the mess ... don't you curse yourself for throwing that bomb? Well, ofcourse you could ask someone else to clean up the mess for you, but that would be very emberassing. Now if you would tell them that they should, because they should have been throwing the bombs with you in the first place ...
