“Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.” —Winston Churchill
If the goal is to stop the enemy from firing upon you, you can accomplish this by decreasing the enemy's numbers. You can also accomplish this by flexing in such a way as to beat the fire out of them without beating the life out of them.
The best leaders discover ways to defeat their enemies without having to eliminate them. The best way to destroy an enemy is by turning him into an ally. The next best way, of course, is to destroy him. You can only do what you can do at the end of the day, and some enemies won't stop fighting until they stop breathing. Some refuse to have the fight beat out of them and thus require the light to be beat out of them. They provide no other way to end the altercation. Sin, Satan and death fall into this category. They never have enough, never quit, never lay down arms. They will continue to war until they require Jesus to snuff them out completely. And one day, by His grace, He will.
1 Corinthians 15:26
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
