	Total war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Total war is a 20th century term to describe a war in which countries or nations use all of their resources to destroy another organized country's or nation's ability to engage in war.
		The practice of total war has been in use for centuries, but it was only in the middle to late nineteenth century that total war was recognized as a separate class of warfare.
		This war truly was total in that civilians on both sides participated to a significant extent in the war effort and in that armies on both sides waged war on the civilian population as well as military forces.

	The Philosophy of War [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		War certainly generates confusion, as Clausewitz noted calling it the "fog of war", but that does not discredit the notion that war is organized to begin with.
		Many who explain war's origins in man's abandonment of reason also derive their thoughts from Plato, who argues that "wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires." That is, man's appetite sometimes or perpetually overwhelms his reasoning capacity, which results in moral and political degeneration.
		Just war theory begins with an assessment of the moral and political criteria for justifying the initiation of war (defensive or aggressive), but critics note that the justice of warfare is already presumed in just war theory: all that is being outlined are the legal, political, and moral criteria for its justice.

	Taking It to the Trenches - What the Supreme Court's terrorism decisions will mean for the war effort. By Phillip Carter
		And by opening the federal courts to the Guantanamo detainees, the high court may have altered the nature of U.S. detention operations—and created a new means of resistance for detainees in U.S. captivity.
		The war powers rest with the two "political branches" because they're elected and theoretically accountable to the people.
		The Rasul decision will impact the war on terrorism insofar as it grants detainees the right of access to U.S. courts to challenge their detention.

		And, therefore, women who were married to ordinary men, who were married to men who had no wish to be soldiers, would have thought that wars were happening quite detached from ordinary life.
		But the minute you actually have ordinary men volunteering to go abroad and to die for their country, it's worse because they didn't want to go and die for their country but they had to.
		It was quite obvious that women had to fulfill a new role in all sorts of jobs or the war couldn't have been fought.

		When he was awarded a fourth star at the end of the war, he fastened it to this same helmet he had used as a three-star general.
		Continually refined throughout the war, the complex optical device revolutionized bombing by determining the exact moment bombs needed to be released in order to hit their targets, allowing Allied aircraft to conduct high-altitude bombing runs beyond the reach of defensive artillery.

	Old hands stoke anti-war effort - Special Coverage Archive - MSNBC.com
		THE OLD HANDS are participating at every level of the budding effort to avert a military conflict with Iraq, circulating petitions, bombarding newspapers and lawmakers with letters, email and faxes, organizing demonstrations and forming new coalitions.
		The media, which was instrumental in galvanizing opposition to the war in Vietnam, also has contributed to the perception that there is little opposition to a war with Iraq by largely ignoring the anti-war movement, the activists say.
		While many activists share the sense that their effort to prevent a military conflict is gaining momentum, Yarrow, the Seattle organizer, said that the prevailing mood of those involved in the campaign could hardly be described as upbeat.

	War Posters Collection - Enoch Pratt Free Library - Baltimore, MD
		War Posters were more than slogans; they adopted the power of art and advertising to convey social, economic, and political ideas.
		The fourth theme was the need to fight by waging war on land, in the sea, and in the sky.
		The fifth theme was the need to sacrifice by conserving, giving up luxuries, buying war bonds, and devoting time to the war effort.

	Aiding the War Effort
		The Vermont War Chest, part of a national organization to help refugees, prisoners of war, and other war victims, raised $650,000 during 1943 and 1944.

		Farmers were proud of their efforts to support the war, but the long-term legacy was increased involvement by the federal government in agriculture through milk price supports and its promotion of cooperative farming associations.

	[No title]
		Created in early December 1861 by the Thirty-seventh Congress and popularly known as the War Committee, the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War was believed necessary to counteract a rash of Union military setbacks in the summer and fall of 1861.
		For the entire war, the committee quarreled with the Lincoln administration and many of the army's top officers over control of the nations armies, particularly the Army of the Potomac.
		Committee members were motivated by patriotic and humanitarian sentiments; however, lack of military knowledge combined with too broad of an investigative latitude conspired to limit their usefulness to the Union war effort.

		It was due to this war fatigue that the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin and Trotsky, were so easily able to depose Kerensky's regime, already quite weak, by November of the same year.
		Beneath these war aims was an evident hatred and disgust for the Bolsheviks who were thwarting the democratic beliefs of the Russian people and betraying them to an autocratic Germany.
		The end of the war in Europe must be considered the defining point in discussion of Wilsonian strategy in intervention, since the anti-Germanism aspect of his policy exited the scene, with the anti-Bolshevik motive taking center stage.

	Speak Up › War Effort
		The war effort had a strong community base with those unable to actually go and fight pitching in to help the national cause at a local level.
		In fact, the entire concept of “war effort” is a socialist concept, in that society as a whole bands together for a common cause, that the social needs outweigh the needs of the individual, that the sacrifice of one is beneficial to the group.
		War poster parodies abound, but they are done particularly effectively by Micah Wright in his Propaganda Remix collection (above, and below), where he not only nails the message, but does so with often convincing graphic fidelity.

	The Women of World War I
		Within months of the war’s outbreak, however, “all the major feminist groups of the belligerents had given a new pledge – to support their respective governments.” Suddenly, campaigners for women’s suffrage became avid patriots and organizers of women in support of the war effort.
		In Britain, World War I soldiers were “invisible” whereas in World War II the US and British forces were a highly visible presence, the blitz targeted London, and fighter pilots could battle the enemy by day and drink at pubs near air bases by night.
		Most often, though, the woman war worker had “little in her life now except work and sleep.” Work shifts of 10–12 hours were “not uncommon.” Conditions in factories were, for women, an “alien environment” of deafening noise and depressing grime, encased by fled-out windows.

	Explain Why Propaganda Was Used In The First World War To Promote War Effort
		This was hugely exaggerated to convince men to be apart of the war effort and to lower the German morale.
		Women were used in posters and played an important part in winning the support for the war because they had initially been portrayed in the wrong way.
		Propaganda was successful, when the most people supported the war because they felt they did 'their bit', even if their initial enthusiasm did turn to bitterness at lost loved ones.

		The White House could at least include more war funds in the regular budget, and come in with a smaller supplemental at the end of the year, critics say.
		Even if war funding is included, the Defense budget would be some 4 percent of gross domestic product - compared to the 6 percent or so it reached during the Reagan years.

		There is another category of nations, whose governments profess to support the American war, but which fail to take the steps needed to eliminate support for terrorism within their own ranks and on their own territory.
		Even though the current war has been deemed a "war on terrorism," this is a misnomer.
		Two years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there are two leading evaluations of the Bush Administration's "war on terrorism." One side, generally right-wing and supportive of the war, is optimistic about its progress, and regards Bush as heroic.
