It might start in the winter of '99, with a Christmas truce, like in 1914.

I totally agree!
What
RJP wrote seems equally reasonable. But I like
Adm.Lee's idea of a Christmas truce (Ah, if you listen really carefully, you might hear "all together now" from "The Farm" in the background
)!
And I think, that letting PoWs live, could be a kind of "winning hearts and minds", maybe in an odd fashion. Most soldiers will be very war-tired. If the PoW behave, why kill them, after all?
