I pretty entirely think people are missing the thing the show is trying to say, especially in the context of the last episode. Gonna try and explain my perspective.

I actually read a great article today about how the rebellion’s tactics have always been crap—goes along with a lot of what you say here, but gets into how they’re pretty much crap in all of the TOS as well. Vox had it maybe?
