You just described West Point!!! I reveled in explainin to my fellow instructors, most of whom were alumni, that USMA in all but name provided a liberal arts education - and rightly so!!!
I was considered a heretic....
Then again I was a big hit as a planner at FT Campbell when I opined over beers that the only thing dumber than a true large-scale air "ASSAULT" was the large scale airborne operation... Air movement, operational maneuver utilizing rotary and fixed wing a/c is great, but not an air assault... Not that both don't have a time and place, but those times and places are few and far between (except for small unit type things) - and it ought to be a last resort...
Intellectual honesty is not the most valued trait in a planner
