I don't know of any conflicts where the objective was to kill others. Even a thousand years ago, war was waged over lands, treasures and power. The objective was to gain these things.
The current Iraq conflict was waged for regime change. Although this isn't as clear cut as previous conflicts. The same goes for Afghanistan.

And you suppose all of this can be accomplished by NOT killing the enemy? |
Hitler took over half of europe without firing a shot.
