Dear Steffanie, You are absolutely right. But a plan might just as likely be one for defence and not for attack. It would be foolish to deny that France and Russia planned for war. Before Les tells us again that wars are not won by defence, it is equally obvious that if one prepares to be and then actually is attacked and then puts up a successful defence, one might well then go over to the attack in an effort to put an end to it. I cannot see how that can be regarded as sinful.
Every nation has war plans.
That is what the military is always worried about is readiness. I need to know logistics etc. They had to. That would be interesting to know.
