“Tactically Engaged, Strategically Adrift”
G. Murphy Donovan
Presumption comes before the fall in sport and war. Trash talking never won a real fight in the real world. Adult leadership always matters.
Success in sports, business, statecraft, and war is a function of quiet confidence. Gloating motivates the competition. An overestimate is a no-lose hedge. An underestimate is a fatal flaw. And if you’re in it to spin it, you are probably not going to win it.
At the moment, team America is losing five hot wars and one cold war, all in slow motion. Throughout, real and imaginary national security threats are obscured by political twerking.
