One can also value the power of the 79 ACE eruption in Pompeii, and at the same time wish it had never had happened. Vesuvius had an excuse, it was not human. Rommel didn't have an excuse.

He *was* a great tactician. Just like Mao was a great tactician. That doesn't mean they were on the right side, nor that they deserve statues in their honor. They don't.

But their methods *should* and can be usefully studied by those interested in aspects of military planning.
