War-deciphering discourse is historico-political, critical and mythical rather than juridical

Evidence

In short, and unlike the philosophico-juridical discourse organized around the problem of sovereignty and the law, the discourse that deciphers war’s permanent presence within society is essentially a historico-political discourse, a discourse in which truth functions as a weapon to be used for a partisan victory, a discourse that 1s darkly critical and at the same time intensely mythical. — Michel Foucault, Society Must Be Defended, 285
