Proposed change for clarity

Currently, the text includes,

most of these are for non-strategic (decisively war-winning) purposes

As there is ambiguity whether the parenthetical definition applies to "strategic" or "non-strategic", I would change this to state,

most of these are not for strategic (decisively war-winning) purposes

If I have misunderstood the difference between strategic and tactical, then swap out those terms. In any case, the revised sentence seems less ambiguous than the original. 194.25.174.98 (talk) 07:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
