    When I was young and first started to learn about war and military history across multiple conflicts I've always had this urge and this sense to learn as much as possible from the victories and defeats of many battles from ancient Rome to nazi Germany to the USSR, America etc. I don't know where it comes from but I feel it necessary to learn how wars are fought and more importantly how war evolves. We're a species of violent savants who excel at finding ways to kill on an industrial level, learning how we apply such horrific methods for some reason interests and captivates me. From weapons to tactics learning war in my opinion is a most useful skill.

    I love the strategic aspects of war. Not only on the strategies commanded upon the battlefield, but also the political and psychological strategies. From the ability to inspire a nearly defeated army with belief and purpose, enough to turn the tides, to the ability to invoke fear, and doubt in ones enemy, at just the right time, and in just the right way. The brilliantly orchestrate military strategy planned and the timely synchronized execution on the battlefield, including the "on the fly", real time, reactive modifications to defend, to trick, out wit, out maneuver, or psych out to demoralize one's foe. Sometimes, they'll even spread rumors about the enemy leader, (prior to declaring war), which correspond to possible doubts already present in the minds of his enemies soldiers about their leader. Alliances, marriages, vassals, spies, secrecy, successfully sniffing out traitors, etc, etc. The bravery, the fear, pain, suffering, inspiration, doubts, resilience, sacrifice, death, and destruction. Not to mention the absolutely astonishing logistics required, (economic, morale, food, water, weather, equipment, resources, deployment, etc) in order to even get the chance to orchestrate it all, and carry out their strategic game plan. There are so many moving parts. When it's all put together, it's like a glorious artistic symphony. A masterpiece

    Yeah, you can destroy the entire government's ability to wage war against you, but if you don't know how to keep the peace, (Or kill off/ enslave so many people the nation you fought against basically no longer exist. Or use heavy indoctrination so the desire to raise arms against you does not exist anymore.) the first war won could become a second future war in years or even decades or an insurgency that will never end. Also you need to make sure your other rivals do not get involved. Otherwise, THEY will help build up the people you just crushed and use them as a proxy enemy against you.

    I love the strategic aspects of war. Not only on the strategies commanded upon the battlefield, but also the political and psychological strategies. From the ability to inspire a nearly defeated army with belief and purpose, enough to turn the tides, to the ability to invoke fear, and doubt in ones enemy, at just the right time, and in just the right way. The brilliantly orchestrate military strategy planned and the timely synchronized execution on the battlefield, including the "on the fly", real time, reactive modifications to defend, to trick, out wit, out maneuver, or psych out to demoralize one's foe. Sometimes, they'll even spread rumors about the enemy leader, (prior to declaring war), which correspond to possible doubts already present in the minds of his enemies soldiers about their leader. Alliances, marriages, vassals, spies, secrecy, successfully sniffing out traitors, etc, etc. The bravery, the fear, pain, suffering, inspiration, doubts, resilience, sacrifice, death, and destruction. Not to mention the absolutely astonishing logistics required, (economic, morale, food, water, weather, equipment, resources, deployment, etc) in order to even get the chance to orchestrate it all, and carry out their strategic game plan. There are so many moving parts. When it's all put together, it's like a glorious artistic symphony. A masterpiece

    My opinion about subject is as follows: First of all, always try to avoid war at all costs, but if it is not avoidable do the following. Try to keep war as short as possible even if that means to limit your objectives. Try to deal maximum damage in shortest amount of time. Fight on enemies territory and avoid your own. Limit your objectives to only practically achievable ones. Do not conquer land or go in to control large population centers with hostile population. Do not try to destroy enemy completely, aim at damaging them hard enough and let "gravity" do the rest. Whenever possible and as much as possible use proxies and not your own forces.

    You bearly touched upon an important point. Winning a war is actually easy for a much strong force going against a weaker force. The problem, and expensive part, is what happens after the war. When destroying the infrastructure, this will need to be rebuilt after the war. When the head of state is the military leader, the religious leader, and political leader, removing them creates a power vacuum. (There are so many examples, but I am trying to limit to 10 lines and not 10 chapters.)

    "The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

    Unfortunately, winning the peace isn't very exciting, and thus does not get the same kinds of resources.

  • @fakecubed

    Winning the peace means having the willingness before you go to war to actually win it, and not get squeamish about what must be done. We could win the war in Afghanistan in a week, and make that country peaceful for a thousand years, but does anyone in Washington, D.C. have the stomach to do so? We were able to win so decisively in Syria because there were no CNN reporters spreading demoralizing reports to the American people and asking uncomfortable questions of politicians. Soldiers aren't peacekeepers, they're warfighters. Let them off their political leash, keep the un-American press out of the theater, and we'll see plenty of decisive victories again everywhere, for far cheaper, and it will discourage future wars by making everyone too scared of war to wage it again. Making distinctions between enemy fighters and the populations that harbor them and being concerned about collateral damage only stretches wars out for many years and results in far more civilian deaths in the long run.
