What are 4 types of ethical dilemmas?
Period in between Thirty Years War (1618-1648) and French Revolution/Napoleonic Wars (1789-1815) where nation states practiced limited warfare. Partially as a result of the horrors of 30 Years War, but mostly because expensive, standing, professional armies had come into existence that rulers did not want to waste. Wars were generally shorter and fought over limited goals (think Frederick the Great just snagging a little piece of Silesia in the 7 Years War). Because these professional armies were made up of lower class conscripts rulers did not trust them to forage (nor did they want to ravage the land they were trying to seize). Thus armies were slow moving and dependent on long supply trains.
Age of Limited War
Concepts are not...
Doctrine until tested, approved, and accepted

What is compliance?
Passion + Policy + Probability
These are like three poles of magnets acting in opposition to one another and throwing each other out of balance. Passion is the illogical aspect of war analogous to the will of the people. Policy is the logical aspect analogous to the government's purpose in war. Probability is the inherent risk/chance/friction/unknowns in war that make it unpredictable. Probability is analogous to the ventures of the army on the battlefield where chance and risk so often determine loss or victory.
