<p>You can't selectively exclude a segment of society when you're
trying to demonstrate the society doesn't do what that segment
does. Being military or not doesn't matter here. We're asking
whether Klingon has a word for <i>spoils,</i> not whether the
Klingon government approves of despoiling.</p>
<p>So we're agreed that the answer to the question, what is the
Klingon word for <i>spoils</i>?<i>,</i> is not "Klingons don't
despoil," yes?<br>
