      ab: A lot of critics like van Creveld are imputing to Clausewitz the concept of trinitarian war, which seems to be applicable only to state-to-state wars. But there is a decisive difference between this concept and Clausewitz's wondrous trinity. Whereas in trinitarian war the three tendencies are incorporated into a hierarchy, in Clausewitz's concept they are equal in standing. Following Clausewitz's wondrous trinity, and by taking into account that he understood the concept of 'state' in his world-renowned formula as any kind of warring community, each war is differently (depending on the societal-historical circumstances) composed of the three tendencies of 1. violence/force, 2. fight and 3. the affiliation of the fighters/warriors to a warring community.
