Companies deciding which kind of toothpaste to market have much more rigorous, established decision-making processes to refer to than the most senior officials of the US government deciding whether or not to go to war.Michael Mazarr, professor of national-security strategy at the National War College.

The only guy in recent history who started a war and got what he intended was Bismarck.Colonel Thomas Hammes, Senior Military Fellow at the Institute for National Strategic Studies.
