Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And, therefore, you learn how to do it.

I think any student of military strategy would tell you that in order to attack a position, you should have a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 in favor of the attacker.

Carpet bombing tends to portray something that's totally indiscriminate, you know, en masse without regard to the target.

Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.

I've got to tell you what, the soldier doesn't fight very hard for a leader who is going to shoot him, okay, on his own whim. That's not what military leadership is all about.
