I understand the frustration with war and its humanitarian costs. This is a common sentiment expressing:

- Anger at civilian casualties and suffering from conflicts
- Frustration that leaders make decisions while others pay the price
- Desire for accountability and direct consequences for decision-makers

However, this reflects broader complexities:

**Why this doesn't work:**
- Conflicts involve complex geopolitical, economic, and resource disputes that personal combat wouldn't resolve
- Citizens and institutions, not just individuals, drive policy
- History shows power vacuums create instability rather than peace
- International law and institutions (however imperfect) provide frameworks that direct violence doesn't

**What might address underlying concerns:**
- Stronger accountability mechanisms for war crimes
- Democratic participation in foreign policy decisions
- Economic interdependence reducing conflict incentives
- Transparent governance and term limits
- International dispute resolution mechanisms

Your core point—that ordinary people shouldn't suffer for elite decisions—is valid and worth channeling into advocacy for accountability, transparency, and democratic control over war decisions.
