Reading the defintions of war, of diplomacy, of defense, of all those words...and I don't know why exactly I am so stuck on verbage these days---but all the explanations are so harsh, linear, and, so sure in their justification and meaning. No room for doubt. Written in stone. But policies are driven by these descriptions, graveyards are filled, governments are formed and re-formed.
The word "military" has also guerillas as part of its defintion. Fancy that. Next thing you know the wash-your-mouth-out-with-soap moniker "insurgent" will have an alternate universe meaning. Then the future of the free world will be up for grabs...after all, legitimacy is always in the eye of The Definer.
