Exactly (and, for the record, I basically buy most of what you wrote in your second-to-last post, as well).

I actually saw a guy, one time, who posted links to a bunch of infantry maneuver manuals used for training marine corps officers. Unfortunately, the only bits of it that I sat down and read before losing the link were too nitty-gritty--still, it was a better approach.
