Operations

Tactics

Generals operate at the top half of that spectrum.
Indeed, so Lee is the Army Commander, and he also advises the Cabinet on military matters, so he is the bridge between the strategic and operational, at the planning level he is strategic, in the field he's oprational level.

Jackson, Longstreet, Hill, and Anderson, these are the Corps Commanders, that's all operational level, Division Commanders are operational as well, you don't get down to the tactical level until you're into the Regiments and Battalions under the command of Colonels and Lt. Colonels.

So just to give people an example, Lee, on Seminary Ridge, directing the attack against Cemetery Ridge, that's the operation, operational level, Chamberlain, leading the 20th Maine from the Little Round Top down into the ranks of the Confederate troops, that's your tactical level.

That's the overt witch hunt, but there is a much more subtle and frankly totalitarian witch hunt, where even dissent from the majoritarian historical analysis of the Civil War is inffered as being thoughtcrime, so when Trump rightly points out that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were in fact the original slave holding Virgnina seceshes, even saying that is now equated with being a "Neo Nazi".

Yeah, but it wasn't the friggin' Marxists who made the Neo-Nazis go out to defend Lee's statue. They did that 'cause they like to get rowdy, or like to pretend that they like to get rowdy.

If it had been a bunch of measured members from the Civil War Historical Society, well them Virginy heroes might not be shackled with the slur.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

Well, random Nazis doing something doesn't justify totalitarianism, but if I was a Civil War historian, I wouldn't be too sanguine about it, if you think Cultural Marxists won't attack academics who fail to heed their totalitarian dogma, you are mistaken.

Essentially you're taking a Soviet's position, "the Nazis did this, therefore anything goes, cause Nazis!" The Soviets at least suffered twenty million dead before they invoked the Nazis to justify their totalitarianism, but just a handful of Nazis and one person dead has incited you to become an apologist for a KGB.

Hardly my position... but if I were a Civil War historian I would be more than a little miffed that the Nazis were poisoning my damn well.

The only poison in the well, is Leftist totalitarianism, as that is the only thing fabricating a well which would be subject to poison; simply by involuntary association.

Don't you know that 'round here, the term 'leftist totalitarianism' is considered redundant?

Well the Leftists are confirming that impression right now, so I can't really blame people for calling a spade a spade.

Don't worry. Once we nationalize the Internet over this Daily Stormer situation, we will be one big ol' step closer to... what's the phrase... immanentizing the eschaton.
