"We’ve all endured “strategic planning” sessions that included everything but a strategy. They’re almost physically painful. My personal theory of strategic planning—which is not universally shared—is that you should be able to summarize the plan in a sentence. If you can’t, it’s probably not strategic. But sometimes nobody has quite the right line yet."

Reading more about the details of operations in the US war in Vietnam…it kind of seems like large parts of the US military was bad at war. “What! Use encrypted comms? What! Change our bombers’ routes?”

“Clinging to tradition, which in itself is a means for him to maintain authority, the soldier is averse to acknowledging and embracing changes forced up him, particularly if they do not appear to favor his immediate interests.”
