You're teaching your comrades the difference between strategy and tactics. "Strategy is the large-scale logic for winning the war. Allied strategy in Europe in WWII was to defeat Italy first, build up forces, and attack Germany via landings in France. Tactics are the small-scale logic for winning individual battles. American tactics in Europe in WWII were to pin the enemy down with infantry and blow the snot out of them with air power and artillery." It's not clear whether they're capable of grasping. Little is clear with this bunch.
