This isn't a ranking of number of people killed. It's a ranking of how many battles were won given their resources. You don't necessarily win a battle by killing as many people as possible.

I think anyone who is remotely reasonable would agree that sometimes war is necessary, such as in wars of national survival like for the UK in the Second World War.

If we've agreed that war is sometimes necessary, we better make sure that we have people who are extremely good at it, which this is recognising and analysing.
