“Strategy does not allow a nation to walk through the garden of war and politics unscathed. Strategic planning informs a nation of what it can do and can endure once it’s been pricked. Through planning, a nation can learn what it can endure and the depths of their adversary. It’s not about the plan. It’s about the planning.”
