...an imperfect plan implemented immediately and violently will always succeed better than a perfect plan.

In the space of two days I had evolved two plans, wholly distinct, both of which were equally feasible. The point I am trying to bring out is that one does not plan and then try to make circumstances fit those plans. One tries to make plans fit the circumstances.

Battle... brings out all that is best.

Plans must be simple and flexible....They must be made by the people who execute them.

I am a Soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally.
