A Grand Strategy, Sir!

"One of the serious problems in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine."
     –from a Russian document

"The reason that the American army does so well in wartime is that war is chaos, and the American army practices chaos on a daily basis."
     –a German general officer

"If we don't know what we're doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions!"
     –1st Canadian Division officer (World War II)



Sounds like a wonderful plan, sir!
