By the mid century it will be clear that wars are no longer fought between two armies but that they,ve become a media show where the object is to kill as many civilians as possible and then blame the "other" side. Armies become state sponsored terrorists who keep their populations hostage, with a silent agreement not to shoot other armed forces (because they might shoot back!). Refugees will be the responsability and social/economic burden for your enemy, so if they flee your way, turn them around or kill them. (actually what Julius Caesar did in Gaul.
