Military Science: Know the difference between total war, limited war, and police actions. Then plan "that" war accordingly. WWI and WWII were total wars (no rules (generally speaking) all out fight to win, including the use of atomic weapons). Korea and Vietnam were limited wars, all fighting had to occur within certain boundaries, no "ATOMIC" weapons could be used, no chemical weapons, no bombing of certain targets that MIGHT WIDEN THE WAR. "Police Actions" are localized military operations against guerilla/insurgent forces that are violating international peace and order. Now...make plans according to the type of military action that is to take place. This is one lesson from the Vietnam War.
