- harry8 9y agonah, java style verbing any and every noun is something else. We war on: drugs cancer terror poverty gangs crime we need to verb the noun war in the sense that, 'the president "warred on" ...' Meaning a stupid policy was followed that generally left everyone one vastly worse off except a bunch of high priced consultants. "warred on" should have the same general meaning as "shat on their own desk"
