That's the popular lie that many in the military constantly tell themselves.
War is politics, and it's the "aftermath" as well, it's all part of the ugly whole.
Just like the War for Southern Independence didn't really end in 1865, it continued with the guerilla campaign of Jesse James and others; and of course the yankee reign of terror commonly called Reconstruction.
