Score of 100 on the geek scale. Is there a scifi military action that would get high marks for actually following military doctrine?

I would like to point out that it was a HIGHLY TRAINED Army that took part in the defeat of NAZI Germany and IMPERIAL Japan.
The units sent helter-skelter to Korea were units of an Army of Occupation. They were NOT highly trained nor fully war-equipped. When the USA got its act together, the Pusan perimiter held, the North Koreans were driven north. When the chinese entered the fray, we retreated then stabalized the lines.
Today a devastated South Korea is a prosporous industrial nation while the North seemingly has yet to recover.

I don’t think this was written as a movie review.

It’s a lesson on conducting a successful raid.
