You said PoliticsMilitary, so my understanding to your question is you are looking for Japanese that expresses warring state of political parties or opponents, as well actual military engagement.
OK, you are seeing three different words in the Target term.
All of the three can be used figuratively as well as real (that is in political power game as well as actual crash of violence at a battlefield. More specific explanation follows.
First is fighting.
Second is fighting but more likely a combat.
Third, also physical crash of armed parties, or warfare. Again this is figurative war, that is, verbal exchanges of severe languages.
Please note, when you pronouce them, elongate the sound a bit after each "o".
