The Law of Oxygen

Abstract

Fire ends when oxygen is removed, war ends when logistics are removed. Battles may be won or lost, but the outcome is decided by whether forces can be sustained. Destroying supply is always cheaper and more decisive than destroying strength: without fuel armies cannot move, without food they cannot endure, without materiel they cannot fight. This is the Law of Oxygen: control logistics and you control capability; deny logistics and you deny options. All else is tactics.
