"All warfare is based on
deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our
forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe
we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” Sun Tzu

Definition: "A war is a conflict between two or
more groups that involve large numbers of
individuals. Wars may be prosecuted
simultaneously in one or more
theatres of war.
Within each theatre, there may be one or more
consecutive
military campaigns.
Individual actions of war within a specific
campaign are traditionally called
battles,
although this terminology is not always applied
to contentions in modernity involving aircraft,
missiles or bombs alone in the absence of ground
troops or naval forces."

not prohibited (an important legal definition known as the
General Purpose Criterion)...:
