To destroy is not so good

Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.



The Epaulettes say: [[[divorce?  relationships?]]] When practicing the art of wardrobe in competition for your enemy's field, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's field whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good, because once it becomes yours it will have less value and you'll need to clean or fix everything.  So, too, it is better to win the respect and admiration of your enemy's army than to destroy even a single soldier and his or her field.
