The D.C. Madam has named Howard K. Ullman, the military theorist responsible for the doctrine of shock and awe, as a customer of her alleged prostitution ring.
Shock and awe, as you may remember, is
a strategy "aimed at influencing the will, perception, and understanding of an adversary rather than simply destroying military capability."

In other words, bomb the hell out of them and they'll cower and whimper.
Ullman cited Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the blitzkrieg as successful examples of shock and awe.
Well, I have no idea whether the D.C. Madam is telling the truth. But if she is, we might have to come up with some different names for the strategy.
Here are some:
o Missile Rising
o War is Long and Hard
o Pimp My Tank
o Where the Rubber Meets the Road
o When John Comes Marching Home
o The Climax of U.S. Power
