Talk:all's fair in love and war

This entry says nothing about why "All's fair in love and war. The statement itself isn't actually true. There are such things as war crimes. I have always taken the statement to indicate that if you win a war you will have killed off the enemy and they won't be around to complain. In romances it works the same. The defeated competition is out of play. The object of affection is now in love with the victor and exceeding unlikely to be critical of the one who won his/her affection.  2600:1700:AF20:BA30:60D2:D296:888A:5F8 14:24, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
