We confuse activity with progress, and that's always dangerous, especially in war.
We're so enamored of technological advancements that we fail to think about how to best apply those technologies to what we're trying to achieve. This can mask some very important continuities in the nature of war and their implications for our responsibilities as officers.

Bette Midler is this sort of laser-precise whirlwind. We only worked together for two days, but her precision, before even shooting, was remarkable.
My preparation is about precision. It is a science.
'Chicago' is all about precision.
