THIS ARTICLE STATES THAT THERE IS A NEED TO ESTABLISH A NEW SENSE OF DISCIPLINE WITHIN THE FIELD OF MILITARY STRATEGY: A DISCIPLINE WITH ITS OWN LEXICON AND LOGIC. STRATEGIC MILITARY THINKING IS AND MUST BE A CREATIVE ART. BUT, MILITARY STRATEGISTS SHOULD BEGIN WITH A FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF THE TYPES OF STRATEGIC MILITARY OPERATIONS, FORMS OF MILITARY STRATEGY, AND STRATEGIC METHODS OF EMPLOYMENT, BEFORE SEEKING TO CREATE IMAGINATIVE NEW APPLICATIONS OF BASIC MILITARY THEORY. THE BEST STRATEGIC MILITARY THINKING OCCURS AFTER STRUCTURED, CONSCIOUS DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THE FEW FUNDAMENTAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO MILITARY STRATEGIEST. ONLY THEN SHOULD VARIATIONS BE PURSUED. A LOGICALLY STRUCTURED APPROACH FOR EITHER DEVELOPING OR CRITIQUING A STRATEGIC MILITARY CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS IS PROVIDED. THE AUTHOR ALSO ARGUES THAT THE LANGUAGE AND LOGIC OF THAT APROACH ARE VALID FOR THE STRATEGIC EMPLOYMENT OF MILITARY POWER ANYWHERE ON THE SPECTRUM OF CONFLICT AND THAT THEY ARE BASED ON THE IDEAS OF THE GREAT MILITARY THEORISTS.

Abstract
Does war deepen gender inequalities in politicians' behavior or help erase them? We draw from the terror management theory developed in psychology to argue that the onset of a violent conflict is likely to push politicians to conform more strongly with traditional gender stereotypes because it helps individuals cope with existential fears. To test our argument, we use data on Ukrainian politicians' engagement on social media (136,455 Facebook posts by 469 politicians) in the three months before and after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and interrupted time series analysis, to assess the effect of conflict on politicians' behavior. We find that conflict onset deepens gender-stereotypical behavior among politicians in their public engagement. We also show that, consistent with our argument, gender biases among the public are magnified during war.
