"The fog of war" nghĩa là gì?
29 Aug, 2021
"The fog of war" = sương mù cuộc chiến -> nghĩa là sự hỗn loạn gây ra bởi chiến tranh.
Ví dụ
To overcome (vượt qua) the fog of war, the Prussian general and military theorist (nhà lý luận) Carl von Clausewitz called for “a sensitive and discriminating judgment” as well as “skilled intelligence to scent (tìm ra) out the truth.” He knew that since decisions will have to be made with whatever information is available in the face of an immediate threat, it’s crucial to acquire as much systematic evidence as possible, as soon as possible.
And yet, some Americans disagreed. Their paramount (người nắm quyền tối cao) concern was civilian casualties (thiệt hại). Inevitable in any war, the prospect had particular significance in the Afghanistan campaign. The essential wrong of 9/11, after all, was the cruel targeting of civilian lives. The death of innocents at American hands, whether by errant bombs or in the fog of war, would undercut the war’s moral purpose.
The fog of war is a term usually used to describe confusion on the battlefield, but when it comes to Ethiopia, it could just as easily be applied to the bitterly (cay đắng) fought information war surrounding the escalating conflict between Tigrayan rebels and government forces.
The fog of war, terrorism and partition (chia cắt) often obscures (làm mờ) the fact that these were two new states that were formed in 1947 and that history of how they evolved, with bilateral (song phương) engagement forming a crucial part of this process, is a fascinating and important one.
