Gee, couldn't be that with all the castration going around that some people might have thought of it as a good backup plan.

Say you capture about 30,000 men throughout this whole thing. Snip their bait and tackle off and send them back; no great war crime has been committed (atleast not as the world overlooks it) and that is a vast exponential generational swathe if you're thinking about the next 100 years. Now add all that end up getting killed.

Hell of a "brother" war.
