Without a plan, there's no attack. Without attack, no victory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In war there is no substitute for victory.
The only plan the Administration seems to have for winning the war is that there is no plan and no schedule for our troops to come home and get out of harm's way.
There is no shorter road to defeat than by entering a war with inadequate preparation.
You can make plans but if the opposition plays well, then all your plans become worthless.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
Strategic planning is worthless - unless there is first a strategic vision.
No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
No plan survives contact with the enemy.
In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
