Ah, yes.  I've used this one several times, teaching young soldiers.

"war" is included in the meaning of ghob.  You don't need to include veS.

I have a couple ideas.

SeplIjvaD bIHegh 'e' 'oHbe' veS ngoQ'e';
SepDajvaD Hegh latlh petaQ 'e' 'oH veS ngoQ'e'.

or

veS ngoQ ta'lu'meH SeplIjvaD yIHeghQo';
SepDajvaD latlh petaQ yIHeghmoH.
