Competition Among ServicesCultural Differences
Should the military services all wear one uniform?
Does friction among the services allow healthy competition and better systems or harm the overall good of the nation?
Examples: Navy Missiles, Air Force aircraft, Marine Expeditionary systems, and Army M1A1 tanks

Ethics in Warfare
Qaeda-led group vows "jihad" over Pope's speech
Mon Sep 18, 2006 6:04am ETDUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group led by al Qaeda vowed a war against the "worshippers of the cross" in response to a recent speech by Pope Benedict on Islam that sparked anger across the Muslim world.
"We tell the worshipper of the cross (the Pope) that you and the West will be defeated, as is the case in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya," said an Internet statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council, an umbrella group led by Iraq's branch of al Qaeda.
"We shall break the cross and spill the wine. ... God will (help) Muslims to conquer Rome. ... God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen," said the statement.

Ethics in WarfareJus in Bello: (justice in war and limiting war)
“the guidelines for fighting well once war has begun”
• Discrimination and non-combatant immunity• Proportionality• Rights of Soldiers
Doctrine of Double effects: civilian causalities are justifiable so long as their deaths are not intended and accidental
Collateral Damage: destruction unavoidable incurred in the act of destroying a military target
Does morality exist in warfare and can one side do what ever is necessary to win?

FRICTION OF WAR
Force that makes the apparently easy, difficultAction in war is like movement in a resistant
element.
FOG OF WAR
The phrase fog of war was first used by Carl von Clausewitz in reference to how chaotic
warfare can seem while one is immersed within it.
