Puzzled

Can anybody, please, explain to me what a “woke” war is, since the secretary of defense promised to not fight one? If he meant that in such wars, as horrible as wars are, there are rules of engagement and international conventions, his abdication of such rules should concern all of us. This is a dangerous stance to take. Who can guarantee that the other side would then not feel free to use the same logic? Think about it.
