Compare "manoeuvre priori" and "command push", "manoeuvre posteriori" and "recon pull".

Nobody seems to use the old terms any more, as if an army not exactly excelling in a war made its language unfashionable for foreign military theory.

One accepts that new developments and refinements of old concepts take place. All I suggest is that they create new words for the new stuff and not bastardise the old terminology and definitions. I really don't think that is too much to ask.
