Tolstoy wrote about the battle of Bolkino, and later the National People's Congress can summarize the reasons for the victory and defeat of countless wars, and then the soldiers and generals in the war could not see through this eccentric battle.
The same is true for this war. No matter how good the US military’s early intelligence warfare is, all the Japanese military’s predictions are all wrong. The changes in future wars are still achieved by the irreversible fighting of the frontline fighters. Looking at it this way, it seems that Nimitz and Spruance's are no big deal.

Midway quotes

  • Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo: [commenting on the American torpedo bombers] They sacrifice themselves like samurai, these Americans.

  • Ensign George Gay: Red Fox Leader from Kit 3. Red Fox Leader from Kit 3. Skipper? Either my compass is all fouled up or we're not headed two-four-zero.

    Lieutenant Commander John Waldron: There's nothing out there but empty ocean. I know where the Japs'll be, Mister Gay.

    Ensign George Gay: Think you might let us in on it, sir?

    Lieutenant Commander John Waldron: I figure they moved since we launched. East, heading out, away from Midway. OUT!

    Ensign George Gay: Roger.

    Huntington: What good's our orders if the skipper's gonna lead us off on his own? I don't like it, sir.

    Ensign George Gay: Huntington, now you take it easy, y'hear? If anybody can find the Zekes, Waldron can. He's part Sioux Indian, for Christ's sake.
