Chinese Use General Sherman’s War Advice…

Nobody Reports

I came across this in my reading today:

If you were to destroy your “enemy” how would you go about it? (With a little help from the inside!)

“If my enemy came out against us in the open country, destroy industrial establishments whenever we found them, break up the lines of interior commercial intercourse, close the coal mines, seize and if necessary destroy the manufactories and commerce of Philadelphia, and of other large cities within our reach.” –General “Stonewall” Jackson

He also said this:

“Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible, and when you strike and over come him,  never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow: for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic striken and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds. If by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of you enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail and repeated victory will make it invincible.”

Nobody Thinks the Chinese have studied our own history more than our own leaders have, and they are doing exactly as Sherman suggested, and without firing a shot.

What’s our weakest link?

Our politicians.
