The naval blockade is but one of many layers in play. Blockades are like sieges of the castles and forts of old – they deny the opponent the resources it requires to sustain its resistance. Pundits who opine for their own aggrandizement do so at the expense of their nation’s efforts and the lives of their nation’s troops. Loose lips sink ships and get troops killed. Pundits make America appear weaker and divided to our opponent, boosting their will, increasing their belief that if they can strike out at our troops it will erode internal support on our side and help them. Yet all these unhelpful commentators, who want to advance their personal careers by appearing so in-the-know with special-sources-who-cannot-be-named, actually know nothing of the actual operations underway degrading our enemy in the several layers of activity underlying the surface-level activity of the steel wall blockade.
