有講的是不是曆史，再說。我僅講一段曆史。記得格蘭特將軍講過這樣一段話。

create havoc and destruction of all resources that would be beneficial to the enemy with the grant

In the spring of 1864, Sherman was made supreme commander of the armies in the West and was ordered by Grant to "create havoc and destruction of all resources that would be beneficial to the enemy." With a grand aggregate of 98,797 troops and 254 cannons, on May 4, 1864, Sherman began the Atlanta Campaign.

Sherman found fierce resistance from the Confederate troops under Joe Johnston and later Hood. On September 1, 1864, Sherman's troops captured the city of Atlanta, but not before Hood destroyed the railroad yards. Sherman declared Atlanta to be a military encampment and ordered the civilians to leave the city.

Sherman wanted to split the Confederacy, and began planning his March to the Sea. He kept his most seasoned veterans, 60,000 in all and sent the rest of the troops back to Nashville to be under the command of Major-General George Thomas. With four Corps of troops in two columns, in November 1864, Sherman began his infamous March to the Sea. Prior to leaving Atlanta, he set fire to munitions factories, railroad yards, clothing mills, and other targets that could be resourceful to the Confederacy. Sherman never intended to burn the whole city, but the fire got out of hand and spread throughout the city.

With the four Corps in two columns, Sherman cut a swath 60 miles wide marching towards Savannah, destroying anything that could aid or be resourceful to the enemy. On December 23, 1864, Sherman sent a telegram to Lincoln stating that he was presenting him the city of Savannah as a Christmas gift.
