    "conduct of the war" ?

    Could the writer possibly be referring to the unprovoked, manipulated, unjustified attack on a nation, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, fueled by nothing more than the displaced vengeance of this country’s wounded pride? That “war”?

    The ISG does provide us with a model, of sorts. If one were to encounter a violent gang rape in progress, certainly a subset of the rapists might be formed into a blue ribbon assemblage in order to formulate and recommend an exit strategy to their associates.
