Yesterday I started reading Sun-tzu's Art of War. The book its self is very short but there is a lot of commentary. The book has 13 chapters each being very short. Master Sun (as he is referred to in the book) was very wise. His view of war was simple; fight for prophet not for the sake of killing. He talks about fighting the strategy its self. the point he is trying to make is that politics is part of your arsenal. Moral and strain on one's country are also important to remember. His approach to war I like. I be leave that war is unavoidable and that the need for military is utterly fundamental to survival of a country or people group. This is not to say that war is always the answer but waiting too long to fight can mean more death. The world is a fallen one and war is a result of that.
