In response to the inevitable "Congress is micromanaging the troops against the wishes of the Commanders" argument, Matthews says:

The 'basics' involve the difference between 'strategy' and 'tactics', and 'civilian control of the military'.

Good. Now let's see if he can repeat that more often ... 'cause I have my doubts.

No shit.
