	Thesis Front Material
		Its military object is "to break the spirit and will of the enemy command by creating surprising and dangerous operational or strategic situations." To achieve this end, one must operate at a faster tempo or rhythm than one's adversaries.
		Both men contend that the target for all military action should be the enemy command, and that the most effective and efficient mechanism by which to translate military expenditure into political gain is paralysis of that command.
		Whereas Boyd speaks of operating at a faster tempo or rhythm than one's opponent, Warden describes the strategic and operational advantages inherent in high-technology "hyperwar." Whereas Boyd talks of creating a highly fluid and menacing environment to which the enemy cannot adapt, Warden advocates parallel attack against the enemy's key operational and strategic nodes.

	ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
		Deception is a good force multiplier when used to cause the enemy to make an incorrect estimate of your strength or intentions and thereby hold troops needlessly in reserve or even to redeploy them to meet a perceived threat.
		Deception is done to gain a competitive advantage over the enemy and is predicated on the enemy taking some type of incorrect action.
		Deception can either be used to increase the ambiguity of the situation and thereby confuse the enemy or directly to mislead a foe.

	Supreme Court Decision: Detainees and Enemy Combatant Rights (washingtonpost.com)
		My disagreement with on the other side stems from: (1) their unwillingness ever to permit detention of American enemy combatants, no matter how strong the evidence, and (2) their assertion that the military's judgment that someone is an enemy combatant is not entitled to deference.
		The Court held that Congress' post-Sept. 11 Authorization for the Use of Military Force authorized the President to detain without trial American enemy combatants captured on a battlefield -- hardly an unprecedented authorization.
		Is the Court saying that a military officer cannot decide that an armed man shooting at our troops is an enemy combatant?

		Mann boldly crept to within rocket-launcher range of an enemy artillery position and, in the face of heavy enemy fire, destroyed an 88mm.
		Fire from this machinegun and the other gun of the section was almost entirely responsible for stopping this enemy assault, and allowed the rifle platoon to which it was attached time to reorganize, assume positions on and hold the high ground gained during the day.
		Minue in the face of inevitable death was unquestionably the factor that gave his company the offensive spirit that was necessary for advancing and driving the enemy from the entire sector.

	DP F1995M: The Art of Diplomacy in The Art of War
		Here, I believe that Sun Tzu was stating the above ranking in terms of minimizing the cost of war (military expenses, lost lives, etc.), in which case it is preferable to not engage the enemy in actual fighting.
		I found it interesting that I could read principles of military tactics that were put to paper (parchment?) two and a half millenia ago, and find familiarity in them.
		But it is one of the most famous military treatises written because it is the oldest surviving one and quite possibly the first one ever written.

		In military science, defense (or defence) is the art of preventing an enemy from conquering territory.
		In non-local conflicts, it is generally true that defenders have an advantage over attackers, since they may have the ability to make preparations for the battle to protect themselves from the enemy while making the enemy vulnerable, such as laying obstacles such as landmines or preparing positions such as trenches and fortifications.
		Defense may also be a euphemism for war, such as "Ministry of Defence".

	Strategy (Civil War)
		Strategic objectives include defeating, destroying, or forcing enemy armies to retreat; seizing enemy strategic sites (supply lines, depots, arsenals, communications centers, and industry) crucial to his military effort; capturing the enemy capital; disrupting his economy; and demoralizing his will to wage war.
		In this military art, troops are maneuvered outside the battlefield to achieve success in a large geographic area.
		Whatever the elements and whatever the means, the fundamental goal of strategy remains the same: the overall use of force to accomplish broad military and political objectives.

	washingtonpost.com: Judge Rules Detainee Tribunals Illegal
		Green criticized the military for using what she called an illogically broad definition of "enemy combatant" in deciding to hold Muslim men from dozens of countries for as long as three years.
		U.S. District Judge Joyce Hens Green said that the approximately 550 men held as "enemy combatants" are entitled to the advice of lawyers and to confront the evidence against them in those proceedings.
		The exchange "might have been truly humorous had the consequences of the detainee's 'enemy combatant' status not been so terribly serious and had the detainee's criticism of the process not been so piercingly accurate," the judge wrote.

	Colombia's Other Enemy: Human Rights Workers
		In the black and white worldview of the Uribe administration and Colombian military officials, NGO workers are guerrillas.
		And public accusations of this nature by government and military officials provide death squads with a green light to kill NGO workers with impunity.

	THE ENEMY IS INSIDE THE GATES
		The group determined that the enemy is within the gates, that he has infiltrated into the highest policy-making positions at the Federal level, and has absolute control, not only of the purse strings, but of the troop build-up and deployment of our military forces, including active, reserve and National Guard units.
		The over-riding question: If we are at war, who is the enemy?
		As we consider all the options -- and enemies -- who performed this act of war, whether from China, Russia, Israel, an Islamic country, or from NATO, we must also consider that the enemy may be within the gates.

	IRAQ'S WEAPONS: Tons of munitions must not get into enemy hands
		The fact that the U.S. military is unable to do so is yet another indication of how the Pentagon, or the intelligence agents on which it relied, underestimated the tasks of securing a post-war Iraq.
		Great stores of bombs, mines, missiles and bullets -- very destructive stuff -- remain unguarded at sprawling military supply depots around the country.
		The New York Times says the American military estimates a million tons of munitions remain at thousands of sites around Iraq, more than can possibly be secured by U.S. and allied forces.

	OODA loop - John Boyd
		Boyd states that the orientation phase of the loop is the most important step, because if the enemy perceives the wrong threats, or misunderstands what is happening in the environment around him, then he will orient his thinking (and forces) in wrong directions and ultimately make incorrect decisions.
		Boyd’s aim is to generate “non-cooperate” centers of gravity for the enemy through ambiguity, deception, novel circumstances, fast transient maneuvers, and the use of Sun-Tzu’s idea of Cheng and Ch’i.
		Colonel Boyd viewed the enemy (and ourselves) as a system that is acting through a decision making process based on observations of the world around it.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: The Supreme Command (ETO) [Chapter 4]
		It was known that military government referred to the authority established in occupied territory of the enemy and that it was intended largely to preserve order in zones in enemy areas through which the victorious armies were passing.
		Military commanders were not always pleased at having to turn their attention from the task of winning battles to the business of feeding people and of making electric plants and waterworks function again.
		The objective of civil affairs operations was restated as an effort to insure "that conditions exist among the civilian population which will not interfere with operations against the enemy, but will promote these operations." Stricken out was the statement that the commander's responsibility did not embrace the rehabilitation of a country or its industries.

		However, the military tattoo is a special case, with a foot in two worlds.
