At the end of World War 2, with the advent of atomic weapons, the ability to produce Darwinian extinction came into man's power. The political power structure then formulated the concept of Limited Conflict, in which they could play war, only in a limited area. Very soon after the end of World War 2, came the advent of television, and broadcasts of football games, a game of terrirorial conquest played within boundaries using regulated violence, force, manuever, and deception to establish dominance. When ball leaves field of play, play stops. During the Korean War, when the Chinese retreated back into China, Gen. MacArthur followed them into China, and was fired -- the Chinese had left the field of play and play was supposed to stop!
