The article explains the differences between Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and Carl von Clausewitz's "On War."
As the meanings of strategy and tactics changed in WWII, the article also explains the differences between strategies and tactics in today's world.

The article is a good read

Heraclitus:
“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

Great article! This makes me think of when I was 18-19 and had a better mind for strategy. It has also conjured up fresh ideas. Wonderful read!

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
- Lazarus Long, Time Enough For Love

If we do not lay ourselves in the service of mankind, whom should we serve?
- John Adams

Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring. and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
- John 10:16

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
