You have to look beyond the beaches. The objectives of the landings were not the beaches, but what was beyond them.
Man, I'm really pleased with the responses over at freerepublic; I'm picking up a lot of good stuff, and good stuff from people who know what they're talking about.
However, in one sense, your response, dutch, fellow Nebraskan, sir, is perhaps more what I was grasping at. I know nothing about strategic thinking, much less strategic planning. Credit this to that I never played competitive games as a lad, and so never, really, developed any sort of thinking along strategic lines.
It had never occurred to me to take into consideration something such as "what was beyond" the initial goals.
Sometimes I feel like an utter retard, and am suprised Thor hasn't kicked me out of here yet, for rampant displays of stupidity.
