  1. Yeah, actually, it's called "will to fight" by the US military. There is an equation that goes like "will to fight x means to fight = combat effectiveness." If either the will to fight or means to fight goes to zero, then the war is over since zero x any quality always equals zero. Let's use Vietnam as an example. The NVA, led by Ho Chi Min, had a sky high will to fight. Their means to fight were never severely degraded since they had the backing of the Soviet Union and China. They also had great demographics as North Vietnam had more than enough young men available to replace fallen soldiers. Also, the US military refused to invade North Vietnam or blockade and destroy its ports. The only reap variable in play was US morale. After nearly a decade of futile war and 50K US service members shipped home in body bags, the US lost its will to fight.
