"The lack of serious discussion about war that goes on leads to a great deal of compromise, lack of intellectual rigor, and a lot of mushiness, and a tendency of strategy by slogan, or strategy by acronym, or strategy by buzzword and not to talking about the actual philosophy behind this is. When people start dialoguing about this at this level, then when they get to 3-star and 4-star, they actually have some concept or philosophy to fit in a new environment."
