Explanation:

When we think about war, we often think about battles, explosions, death, machinery, and all those things we see in war movies. But war is a lot more than those things.

It's training individuals to work as cohesive units. It's equipping those individuals with uniforms, equipment, food, water, and all those other things that fall under the category of logistics. It's procurement of major weapons systems, such as planes, tanks, and ships. It's transporting those military units and their equipment to where they need to be. There's the paying of the salaries of all these people.

All of these things, these business activities, have to happen in order for troops to be ready and able to fight in battles, in wars.
