Why in the hell,,would ANYONE with half a brain, broadcast their strategy ahead of time for the world to see?

Did Patton do that?

Seriously

Yes actually he did. He had to let his colonels, majors and captains know what the plan of battle was. But I think you meant it as in “broadcast” to the wider world.

Simple answer: we don’t elect Pattons or even Bradleys. We sure as hell do elect Presidents to pick men like Patton and Bradley. The candidates don’t have to get down into brass tacks, or tactics. Give us a broad view. “I’d raise Patton from the dead and send him in riding klondike bears with laser beams”, while amusing, won’t cut it.
