Military force is using "the military", trained and armed soldiers, to accomplish a goal. Military force is obviously used in wars, but it is also used in peacetime to control large crowds. It is also used when hostile action is taken, but war is not formally declared. For example, the United States is not at war with Iraq. Nevertheless, we use military force, with the Iraqi government's permission, to keep the peace there.

The 1939-43 Star is a campaign medal of the British Commonwealth, awarded for service in the Second World War. The medal was awarded for operational service between 3 September 1939 and 1943. Army personnel had to complete 6 months service in an operational command. The criteria was changed in May, 1945. An official published statement on the WW2 Stars and the Defence medal in May, 1945 granted approval for the prolongation of the currency of the 1939-1943 Star to the 8th of May, 1945, the date of the end of active hostilities in Europe. As this was published prior to the surrender of Japan there may have been further extensions of the dates for some of the medals to include the period between the surrender of Germany and the surrender of Japan, particularly as this would involve the participation of Australian and New Zealand Commonwealth forces who may have been eligible for British Commonwealth campaign medals.Susan Nanni, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada

Before August 1945, military leaders in Japan were primarily focused on sustaining and expanding their empire, which had grown through aggressive campaigns in China and Southeast Asia. They were deeply committed to the notion of bushido, or the warrior code, which emphasized honor and sacrifice. Despite facing significant setbacks, including defeats in the Pacific and the strategic bombing of Japanese cities, the military leadership remained resistant to surrender and prioritized fighting to the bitter end. This mindset ultimately contributed to Japan's decision to continue the war until the devastating bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
