Being captured by the losing side in an industrial age, continent-spanning war is a harrowing experience. Even with the best of intentions, huge numbers/proportions of prisoners will die from malnutrition, typhus, and the like without any ill will.
Bingo!
I guess allowing one's prisoners to " die from malnutrition, typhus, and the like"
doesn't constitute "ill will"????
