* WarIsHell: Kirk's reason for despising the Eminiars' tidy theoretical war, and the moral of the episode, is that war is ''supposed'' to be hellish; that way, people will do their best to avoid it and work to end the conflict quickly (one way or another) whenever they can't. He also separately notes that the ForeverWar was only ''possible'' because of the casualty-by-calculation "war" meant that every other cost of war but the death of people was removed -- in an actual war, if no armistice or peace treaty was made eventually one side or both would have lost the ability to fight an effective interplanetary war from infrastructure being damaged or exhausted.
