QotD: Preparing for war

Filed under: Government, History, Military, Quotations — Tags: — Nicholas @ 01:00

A nation that does not prepare for all the forms of war should then renounce the use of war in national policy. A people that does not prepare to fight should then be morally prepared to surrender. To fail to prepare soldiers and citizens for limited, bloody ground action, and then to engage in it, is folly verging on the criminal.

T.R. Fehrenbach, This Kind of War: A Study in Unpreparedness, 1963.
