Re: Republicans killing Republicans, when will it stop? comments
There's far more to it than you're geting from the press.
The essence is as old as Sun Tsu - geting inside the enemy's decision cycle.
Months ago I'd posted several links to the topic of a new military strategy, embraced years ago enthusiastically by the Marines and reluctantly by the Army in the last few years.
"In armed conflict, maneuver warfare requires the ability to operate with rapid decision cycles (or "OODA loops," for observe - orient - decide - act). Such mental and physical quickness produces "agility," to generate ambiguity, isolation, confusion, and panic in the opposing side. Commanders who can achieve these effects gain victory without bloody and "decisive" battles.
