I guess that's the idea, but the problem is the strong don't always win.

Do the strong ever win? I mean really win?

I don't think you weed out the weak through destruction, I think the better way to weed out the weak would be through education.

Killing the "weak" leaves nothing but an army of malleable soldiers or frightened civilians wiling to say/do whatever it took to not be seen as weak. Hardly Strong, in my eyes.

Usually the strong (elite units and those most willing to fight) are pretty much wiped out in the beginning stages of the war. At least that was the case in both World Wars. You're pretty much left with rookies and unwilling draftees towards the end.

It's pretty much counter-productive in that sense.
