A Civil War

Yes, a polite war would be acceptable. A respectful carnage, much more civilized. A war to remember as genteel, noble, and well played. One officer to another: "I say old chap can you move your men a bit to the left over there, so as we may shoot them more cleanly?" "Anything to oblige sir, we can't have the wounded littering the battlefield creating any unnecessary fuss, or indeed, leave the broken corpses just anywhere - there must be order." That's how it should be, neatly bloody, and then folded away in a history book far from the cannons roar.
