Omer sir, that is what i have been saying since day first, but no one is paying attention to me. I have reiterated again and again that there was a sky clear difference between war and fight, but of no use. |
Noun: fighting
The act of fighting; any contest or struggle*•*there was fighting in the streets =combat, fight, scrap Adjective: fighting (military) engaged in or ready for military or naval operations*•*review the fighting forces =active, combat-ready ≈operational Verb: fight (fights, fought, fighting) Be engaged in a fight; carry*on a fight*•*Siblings are always fighting*•*the tribesmen fought each other =contend, struggle Fight against or resist strongly*•*Don't fight it! =defend, dispute, fight back, fight down, oppose Make a strenuous or laboured effort*•*He fought for breath =struggle Exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person; be an advocate for*•*She is fighting for women's rights =agitate, campaign, crusade, press, push |
I also interpreted fighting as struggle in my essay, attempted Great Nations taking a position against the topic. My thesis was Nations become great only by fighting and subsequently winning. No winning without fighting. Examples: Rise of Islam, colonial powers etc. Fight is not just traditional warfare but also economic, diplomatic and technological warfare. Realpolitik stuff..
