[edit] Combine into Military tactics

Despite the "keep" decision, I think this page is insufficient to stand on its own. I would rather see the this pages discussion of the differences between "tactics" and "strategy" covered on the Military tactics page and this one dismantled. That would salvage the information but satisfy the wiki best practice of convergence. ~PNT 03/09/06

[edit] Unrelated

I wish there was a posting of tactical signals because my airsoft team needs to use tactics in airsoft wars/tournaments. Kelloth march 6 2005

[edit] Deletion

I have submitted this article for deletion, as it is wholly worthless and should be rewritten by someone who can both write coherently and understands the topic. 67.72.98.93 11:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I have tagged it with {{cleanup-rewrite}} which is the policy-approved response to such a messy article. AfD remains live, however... Georgewilliamherbert 01:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My deletion nomination

That was me (I forgot to sign in when I nominated). Articles like this will push some of us into Wiki-agnosticism; if one doesn't have faith in the Fundamental Theorem of Wikipedia, that is, that any moron with an Internet connection is entitled to have an opinion on any topic, then it's hard to keep orthodox. I say this wholly without heat, by the way. I like Wikipedia fine. Not deleting articles this poor, though, shows that Wikipedia erroneously believes "freedom" to be synonymous with "absence of any kind of intellectual standards." Don't be too mad at me; I don't believe in democracy either, as it happens. Dave1898 12:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment from another user: Actually this article answered my question (the difference between tactic and strategy) nicely. I could not follow the quote by Michel de Whoever, so I just tuned it out. W. 4/26/2006

[edit] I've attempted a re-write which does justice to the subject

I'm no scholar, so I haven't followed the recent usages closely, but I believe my copy edit preserves the intent of the editor who added the reference. Unless someone objects in the next few days, I'll remove the rewrite tag. BusterD 20:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
