Theorizing about what a war with mars would look like and my idea was a artillery cannon and tanks, As the Atmosphere would not support fixed wing or rotary wing air support.

Artillery and tank projectiles would travel further than it would on Earth.

But lasers would require optics that can be damaged by dust storms. and lasers are line of sight, Cannon would have longer range and even a tank could be used as a howitzer or even anti space ship weapon.

can have a big one in orbit. Have a small constellation of them. Make it so they can shift orbit to re-position/avoid.

Good thing about this is that surgical strike would just be a matter of adjusting power and focus, so you may choose to roast individual martian-ISIS instead of taking out whole colonies.

Butterfly death throes. Many celestial objects are beautiful – swirling spiral galaxies or glittering clusters of stars are notable examples. But some of the most striking scenes are created during the death throes of intermediate-mass stars, when great clouds of superheated gas are expelled into space. These dying breaths form planetary nebulas like NGC 6302, captured here. Known perhaps more appropriately as the Bug or Butterfly Nebula, this complex nebula lies roughly 3800 light-years away from us within the Milky Way. It was formed when a star around five times the mass of our Sun became a red giant, ejected its outer layers, and became intensely hot. Its distinctive shape classifies it as a bipolar nebula, where fast-moving gas can escape more easily from the poles of the dying star than from around its equator. This creates a lobed structure reminiscent of an hourglass or, as in this case, a giant cosmic butterfly.
