Quotes by Douglas A. Macgregor (?)

“Only war reaffirms the enduring truth that to be effective in battle, armed forces must be cohesive, inspired, undemocratic, and coercive in character; that Western armed forces in particular must be separate and distinct from the individualistic, ultra-democratic, and materialistic societies they defend.”
― Douglas A. Macgregor, Margin of Victory: Five Battles That Changed the Face of Modern War

How effectively natioanl political and military leaders adjust the framework of organization, technology, and human capital to relentless change in society, technology, and world affairs determines whether the nation-state prevails or perishes in defeat.”
