@actingislying forget the sugarcoat of unrealistic interpretations. like an engineer clausewitz has not produced philosophy or ideology in his work. by implying there'd be philosophy in war the untalented author of this vid only glorifies it. you can break war down to its economic purposes be your cultural background greek, roman, american or mongolian. these purposes are not idealistic* when orchestrating weapons, fear, power and greed to dominate population, territory and resources.

@STuRMBR1NGER It absolutely was philosophical. Even modern science is philosophy; we often mistake it as "truth" or "fact" when this is not the case. It is the philosophy of human observation, not reality. I do agree, though, that Sun Tzu reads more like a "just do it" approach compared to Clausewitz's "Here's why this is important" approach.
