Not with me, they don't!

Warfare is defined by the aims sought and means employed to achieve the aim.

To sound like a stuck record, "Why are we seeking to define conflict?" "So that we may better understand it?"

So here is the question. "What do we not understand about conflict that causes us so much angst?"

Conflict is conflict. War is War. What's the problem? To be a proper army, you have to be able to fight any sort of conflict. Otherwise you're just a one trick pony.
