Demoralization also works with the people back in the home nation. If the population supports the war, then there will be many more volunteers and a broad support for a bellicose government. If, on the other hand, the population believes the war is unwinnable and unjust, then any political party supporting the war will be seen as arrogant and out of touch with its electorate.<ref>[http://changingminds.org/disciplines/warfare/principles/demoralization.htm Demoralization - Changing Minds website]</ref>}}

The Chinese military strategist [[Sun Tzu]] wrote: "For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill (a variant translation is "Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.").<ref>[https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu Sun Tzu - Wikiquote]</ref>
