Title: The Difference between Strategy and Tactic
Topic: Military Strategy and Tactics

Discussed by Professor Dr. Earl Tilford
with Center for Vision and Values (www.VisionAndValues.org)

Mr. President, America cannot handle an attack from ISIS. We must be proactive. The world needs a country that will lead, not blindly follow. Right now, we are blindly following – or blindly doing absolutely nothing, in my opinion.

Dr. Earl Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East and Terrorism with The Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College. He has a strong opinion about Obama’s position concerning ISIS – or lack of position, that is.

Dr. Tilford first describes the difference between military strategy and tactic. Strategy is why you are fighting and tactic is how you win a war. Our military MUST have a strategical plan and tactical plan. Dr. Tilford says Obama is too focused on dealing with domestic issues (and golfing) than facing real threats.

Now, if you’re like me, you might wonder why some news reports talk about ISIL as opposed to ISIS. What is the difference? Dr. Tilford also describes the differences in containing ISIS, controlling ISIS, marginalizing ISIS, defeating ISIS, and pounding them into the ground until they wave the flag. Sometimes threats will work to destroy an enemy, but will that work with ISIS? These terrorists are willing to die for their cause, no matter what. So how should Obama handle this threat?
