Emotionalism is almost always a bad idea.
It doesnt help play the game well.

US strategy in the Revolutionary War was very astute. It played to American strengths, avoided engagements unless there was some perceived advantage (sometimes misjudged, such as at Germantown), and on the whole was designed to keep American military power viable, more so than fighting for its own sake. It can be defined as a “Fabian” strategy (look up Quintus Fabius “Cunctator”), and indeed it was called that at the time.

It was the very opposite of the “banzai charge” strategy of emotion you are implying.

That is not what I'm "implying".   I'm not implying anything.   I'm saying if someone punches you in the face, you put your dukes up, and hit him back.   And you do it right now, not two years from now, or six months from now.

I'm saying if you discover that someone supposedly on your side is a traitor, you deal with them right now, not some time in the nebulous, nefarious future, after they do a lot more damage.

You are obviously dealing from the full-blown negative emotionalism of "fear" and "anxiety", concerning what terrible things might happen here, if we take action, and actually do something.   We will never be free of "emotionalism" of one kind or another regarding all these issues until we are here:


      


Regarding that emotion-free time, don't rush it.
