Post-conflict activities are an integral part of any military campaign in which U.S. forces are required to seize territory, either to free an occupied country, as was the case during the liberation of Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War, or to dispose of an enemy regime, as during the post-war occupations of Germany and Japan.
In the present military education system, however, much of the edification relevant to building these attributes is provided at the war colleges to a relatively elite group being groomed for senior leader and joint duty positions.
The military's reluctance to think deeply about the place of peace operations in military affairs derived from a rich tradition of Western military theory, typified by the 19th century Prussian thinker Carl von Clausewitz, who emphasized the primacy of winning battles and destroying the enemy's conventional troops.

That military organization, primed by the decades of naval war against the fleets of the French revolutionaries and Napoleon, had come to rely on the willingness and ability of subordinate commanders—exemplified by Admiral Horatio Nelson’s “band of brothers”—to discern and respond independently to the dictates of a situation.

 Military Women Prevented from Having Abortions Overseas
Sanchez said the existing law not only deprives servicewomen and military dependents of a right they have in the United States--where they can pay for the procedure at non-military facilities--but it often violates their privacy by forcing them to tell commanding officers why they need speedy leaves of absence.
It would be nearly impossible (for women in the military) to leave their post, hop a plane to the United States, get an abortion and go back into active duty.
In the year that ended Aug. 31, 1977, before military abortions were restricted by law, about 26,000 were performed in military hospitals or covered by military insurance, according to a 2002 report by the Congressional Research Service and provided by the Pentagon.

As military governor of Canada from its surrender in 1760 till the peace treaty was concluded in 1763, Murray attempted to change as little as possible of the French ways of running the colony, again with the idea of reassuring the Canadians and getting them to accept the British presence.
As long as the war was still going on, it would have been unwise to do things that might provoke resistance among the Canadians, since Britain wanted to use her troops in other places where the fighting was still going on and not to have to keep them in Canada.
As a military officer and an aristocrat, Murray sympathised with and socialised with the aristocrats of Canada, so its not surprising that he favoured the maintenance of the old institutions which had allowed them to dominate Canadian society.
