Over the course of three years or so I’ve read a little over
twenty books on the Civil War and maybe about ten books on World War II. One thing that has been cemented beyond the
shadow of a doubt in all my readings of all the battles is that the side that
wins is more often than not the side that messes things up the least.
In other words, the side that’s less incompetent than the
other side.
SNAFU is SOP when it comes to warfare, and SOP is often
FUBAR.
Just something that I, as an unwilling and unwitting student
of pop culture, has never been truly aware of in my forty-plus years of life on
this fallen, war-filled world.
Thank God for the good guys who are less incompetent than
the bad guys.
