THIS IS UK DOCTRINE!
So, a goofed tactical action - bombing a UN kindergarten - is only a goof if it creates lasting and decisive political effects.
So you can't have a "Strategic Corporal" because Corporals cannot achieve lasting decisive political effects.
So not resourcing the formation is A'Stan is actually de-facto strategic failure.
Help any?
Brother,

As most of the time, violently agreeing. I was taking issue more with some of the other comments. My bad for being less than clear.
However, with the compressed 24/7 news cycle, the interweb and all the other issues we see, could we not say Lyndie England (poor sap/poorly led) was a strategic PFC? Lasting political damage? Worldwide perception impact? Big hit to moral high ground?
