hmm, some of these things will apply today still, and some won't.
In the time of Sun Tzu, the lower casts were the ideal soldiers. They fought and followed orders. These days, I don't think however that you could afford to augment your own strength with that of the foe's. Too many infiltrants, spies and just plain stubborn idealists that will eat away at your own.
Indeed though, if you want to wage your war well, you are best to plan ahead, plan in general with room for changes, and once you act on it, do it in a quick burst. Siege & long battles are always bad, especially nowadays, because it gives people a chance to think, even the people "under your control". And you can't have underlings thinking for themselves, it invites disaster
