... which is using military force for a justified purpose. Not hyping military ventures as if a big dic justifies action.

Some will argue that "means justify the ends". Spin constantly used back then to justify the massacre of 50,000 Americans in Vietnam.

Bomb them because socialists are devils. Bomb them because the government is a dictatorship. That always was classic big dic reasoning.
