“You to have to kill enough of the enemy so that they don’t have the will to fight you anymore.”
No, we need midnight basketball and jobs programs for them. Thing is most of them want to be butchers.
Sometimes the best way to demonstrate how bad a concept is, is to let it go down.
Your attention, maybe?
Nathan Bedford Forrest was carefully studied by the German High Command and especially influenced Rommel. The US army doctrine of combined arms highly mobile offensive strategies have their origins in Forrest’s tactics and campaigns. It is unfortunate and somewhat blasphemous that ISIS is benefitting from his legacy. His greatest strategic failure however is that by late 1864, he was unable to deploy a significant force out of northern Alabama to disrupt Sherman’s rear and supply lines.
Lots of the souths’ greatest warriors came from the patrician planter class, their prowess at horsemanship and swordsmanship learned from leisure activities. Nathan Bedford Forrest was not one of them.
His father was a blacksmith. His fortune he earned on his own. What he brought to battle was brazen ferocity and cunning. He was largely a self-educated man who worked his way though the ranks by virtue of his competence.
I’m not favorable to the cause he fought for, but I recognize talent when I see it and we could use some like him in the existential war against islam that cowards like Øbozo refuse to admit we are in.
