The Pentagons's new vocabulary.........
This document literally redefines just about every aspect of war and introduces a whole new vocabulary, which will likely account for a significant portion of future White House Press Conferences. Below is the new purpose of war:

Enduring Purpose Of War(exactly as both appear)
Old: Violent clash of opposing wills
New:
• Impose will upon an adversary
• Politics by another means
• A better peace
