Small wars are operations undertaken under executive authority, wherein military force is combined with diplomatic pressure in the internal or external affairs of another state whose government is unstable, inadequate, or unsatisfactory for the preservation of life and of such interests as are determined by the foreign policy of our Nation.

Welcome...
...to the left lateral limit of hotness. That'd be us. At least according to
Rolling Stone’s 2009 Hot List:
"This time, we're banking on an assortment of movers, shakers and muckrakers that runs the gamut from the warfare digest "Small Wars Journal" to Hot Issue cover girl Lady Gaga (check out shots of her wildest moments here)."
The nuances are explored here in the Small Wars Council. Recurring themes include:
- Recognition and support of Rolling Stone's cutting edge insightfulness, particularly as evidenced by their editorial decision to do a phone interview with no photographers for the SWJ piece and no shots of our wildest moments;
- shock that the rest of the so-called "Mainstream Media" is so out of touch with real hotness;
- various issues associated with proper etiquette for gracefully sharing the limelight with our fellow celebrities, so as not to burst their bubbles.
