War is politics by other means. It has very different rules of engagement and consequences than debate and vote amongst peers. Justice is defined by the victors in a defeat and by mutual consent in a stalemate. It is not defined by the combatants during an engagement. Pursuit of Justice from the outset changes mission parameters, conflict duration, scope, and definitions of ultimate success. Do you think we have now or have ever achieved justice against the Taliban. Would they agree to our definition of Justice?
