I wonder what forms of maneuver Fabius would not classify under surrender?
What is the difference between tactical retreat and maneuver warfare?
Fabius Maximus refuses to answer questions over at ZenPundit stemming from his post "Surrender in Al Anbar province," except for these two paragraphs. The first snarky:
This is not the place for that technical a discussion. Except at absurd level of simplicity. Like tactical advance and holding in place are not tactical retreats. You might read some books about WWII or the Korean War for more about this.
The second deep:
4GWs move through social space like maneuver war moves through space, so there are only incidental overlaps or similarities.
So: how do maneuver warfare, 4GW, retreat, defeat, and surrender relate to each other?
