I have to disagree. When I think of Overwhelming force, I think of something like an elephant or a bear, wonderfully powerful, but one can easily be taken down with a gunshot, or even a spear in the right spot.
I think that you are being too general about fighting a war. I would assess the situation and plan for that situation than sending every tank and soldier I have.
I agree with TLAM. It's better to disrupt your enemies logistics and isolate them than to go for sweeping, epic, all-out battles. While the latter is like a punch or a headbutt, which can be parried and even used against you, the former is akin to coming up from behind and strangling your victim to death. It's less showy, but guess who won't have bruises on their knuckles?
