Yeah I think that's the implicit message behind the beheadings: THIS is how we fight a war. None of that mamby-pamby nonesense. When we fight a war, we cut off your head, we kill your women and your children. We make you live in fear.

When WE fight a war, we buy lawyers for everyone on the house.

Around four times as many were killed in the Tokyo firebombing... but yeah your point definitely remains.
