For the mentally challenged I'll give at least one example of strategy. When the Imperial Japanese Navy decided to attack both the Aleutian islands and Midway it was a strategic decision, not a tactical one. Tactics can only be discussed after such strategic decisions have been made (if you don't know where you're going to fight how can you make tactical decisions on how to do it). The tactics of how to carry out this strategic decision were left up to the admirals who commanded the various task forces or task groups because they would actually BE there. Nimitz didn't second guess the tactical decisions of Halsey, but Halsey didn't dictate the strategy the entire US Navy would pursue in the Pacific either. Other strategic decisions might be to bomb war production facilities as opposed to concentration camps -- either could have been done, but it isn't a tactical decision. -- Doug "Walter Mitty" <mitt...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:87ejylvax7.fsf@news.europe.ch... > "pigdos" <N...@nowhere.com> writes: > >> Maybe you should look up the definition of the word strategy.
