In short, Army terminology for defeating the enemy in war without (in the case of Miers) firing a shot.

Something I learned in the Army back in the '60s. It's an acronym for the U.S. military's nine principles of war.

quidnunc explains it well in a post here MOOSEMUSS go down to post #1 on the thread.You covered some of these principles in your piece.

Cheers!
