imo, war technically isn't population control assuming the factions follow the geneva convention... and these days with strategic strikes to factories, airstripes, radar towers, etc the idea is to blind, mute and deafen the enemy.. not to kill them.. wars are typically won and lost with less than 1% casualty rate to the population.. another example that comes to mind regarding geneva convention preserving lives and casualties is the use of jacketed bullets, etc..
hitler and genocide is a differnet story of course, and pre-geneva..
