Too many battles were fought by moving armies; around living spaces belonging to civilians; who, if they were smart, cleared the field. And, ran away.<BR/><BR/>While some wars are won when you interfere with the "supply lines." Letting "winning armies race ahead," until they run out of food. Or ammunition.<BR/><BR/>Wars are more than a contest, though.<BR/><BR/>Because we tend to remember, way way back, to wars fought. And, then the poets who gave this a "gimmick" by which to be remembered.<BR/><BR/>Think HOMER. You could even think the Bible. Since what's "reported" has usually been less than peaceful times.<BR/><BR/>What I find fascinating, however, is that today's journalists are screwing up. And, losing market share. Letting amateurs, who write blogs, to steal their audiences. And, to get read by way more people than professional scribes.<BR/><BR/>Why is that?<BR/><BR/>Well, it seems journalists have been missing the essence of what makes stories interesting. It's one thing to have a sexual revolution, where pot heads stick daisies into the front end of guns. But it's quite another to think of this crap as heroism.<BR/><BR/>Old fashioned heroism still stands out.<BR/><BR/>And, the germans lost because they were doomed to listen to hitler's lies.<BR/><BR/>While people, then, who wanted to hear the truth, risked their lives un-burying their short-wave radios; to pick up signals. And, this meant? It meant English began to be understood by more and more people.<BR/><BR/>WHile Yiddish died.<BR/><BR/>You could learn something from outcomes.
