You're focusing on the act of war here, rather than the suggestion of what
lurks in the mind.  Without doubt the horrors of the battlefield are without
equal; maiming, wounding and lingering agony from the physical nature of
war.  But equally, psychological warfare is just as insidious.  Indeed,
marketing uses PR in pretty much the same way nowadays... ;-)
    What I refer to is the terror we instill on ourselves, either by design,
or from without - psychological warfare mentioned above, for instance.
Lovecraft was fond of having his characters turn into gibbering
vegetables...
