Answer

All is fair in love-we are expected to "follow our hearts." Since the heart is not ours to control, we cannot be blamed if the heart leads us to fall in love with another, or to fall out of love with someone to whom we promised eternal love-and war: by its very definition, war involves (1) inflicting great suffering on an opponent or (2) the endurance of great suffering inflicted upon us. We face the prospect of dying or being killed. If "fairness" intervenes so that a warrior protects the interest of the other, rather than his own interest, then it is not really a war. If we reject biological warfare, it isn't out of fairness that we do so, but because we reason that only by rejecting it can we hope to avoid being subjected to it later.

Where war is concerned, if you are not the aggressor but the defender then you are only protecting that which is yours. Also following the Geneva Convention in how prisoners are treated and that the civilian population is not targeted.

Regarding love. So long as the individuals are not already married, but single and available, and so long as proper etiquette is followed, I see no reason why you should not follow your heart.
