Revision as of 23:24, 14 February 2007

War is a state of violent conflict which exists between or two or more independent groups, each seeking to impose its will on the other.[1] This is facilitated by the use of military force, or the organized application of violence toward the destruction of enemy's manpower and materiel, so as to disrupt their means of fighting and ultimately break their will to fight, thus leading to the cessation of hostilities. These conditions are generally defined as victory.
