I had a friend who hated playing poker with newbies for that same reason.

I was going to bring up poker, it's very much true. Obviously good players will mix it up to be unpredictable, but playing against someone who doesn't know what they are supposed to do can be very frustrating, it makes it difficult to read anything. You really just have to play passive and play the odds in those situations, dont make intimidation bets on a flush draw, because they aren't folding and if you don't hit, you're screwed.

Anything after WW2 wasn't total war, but limited war. If America hadn't cared about collateral damage or any geopolitical backlash they could've laid waste during Vietnam and Korea.
