: a tactical weapon is directly useful in application, whereas a strategic
: weapon is useful by possession -- think "M16A4" and
: "nuclear warhead(s).")

: We know for a fact that Flood can be killed by brute force. I suspect the
: Halos have an ability to directly obliterate short-range targets; however,
: it makes sense for the effectiveness to decrease with distance. (Ergo,
: starvation becomes a more efficient strategy.)

: -ACE
