But in everyday parlance we do talk about things like the “cover of darkness” which implies concealment. And my point here was to think about how things like war get complicated when they become everyday and ordinary. For those of us who experience war at a distance, and who think of it as something fought by a professional military force you may be absolutely correct. The military has a technical language as you suggest. But when war becomes everyday and ordinary, my guess is that such distinctions get lost as war itself becomes normalized. In any case, I appreciate your comment inasmuch as it helps to tease out the point more. Best, JLL
