To the Oriental, war involves much more than just military action. It's waged across the board, with particular emphasis on economic warfare. And, they think in terms of decades, if not centuries.
Also, never forget Sun Tzu, the Chinese master strategist all we military people have studied, but few have understood. Several quotes from his teachings are germain to your poll:
"All war is based on deception."
"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate."
And, the most critical for the purposes of this discussion:
"Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
