Our victory in Iraq was planned out by some leaders who studied their tactics. "There is nothing to be gained by a long protracted war" - Sun Tzu. And G.S.P. knew and studied tactics.

But do you know who G.S.P.'s first teacher of such things, a veteran of the 1861-1865, was?

And too, don't forget the generality that amateurs and junior lieutenants study tactics and strategies. Real professionals sweat the logistics.

Ooh, ooh, ooh-I know, I know. Won't come right out and say his name in case anybody else wants to play, but I will say that this person's memory is today just a grey ghost to most people ;-)
