Good news: war is inefficient, so most of the time the two countries involved just agree on a deal that is close to the predicted result of war, instead of fighting.
In that case, the military's role is to convince the enemy that a war would result in an outcome that is favourable to you.

@wolf480pl@mstdn.io @kline@mastodon.sdf.org None of that is good news, politicians do not care about inefficiency, specially as they don't fund it and it doesn't hurts them, at best they get more bad reputation (as usual). Also consider that a lot of politicians are sociopaths.
