Warfare has been dominated by warriors, not soldiers.  The two categories are not mutually exclusive because even modern soldiers try to cultivate warrior virtues such as courage, honor, loyalty, and strength.  The difference lies in discipline and cohesion:  Soldiers have it, warriors do not. Warriors may fight as part of a large army but in essence they fight alone seeking one-on-one duels with enemy warriors in order to prove their manhood.  They disdain death administered by machines from afar as unchivalric and dishonorable.  Soldiers on the other hand, are supposed to stay in the ranks, follow orders, and do their assigned jobs no matter how inglorious.  They are concerned more with efficiency than with displaying personal prowess.  They are in essence cogs in a machine.  Prevailing attitude:  "I have therefore, never learned the real cause of this war; but as an idle life in camp is always most irksome to a soldier, we hail wi...

Lay in your superior ability to coordinate your force, and in your high quality of leadership, training, and morale.  Figure out how to make the best use of the technology of the day.  Even the best strategy, tactics, and technology in the world don't give you an indefinite advantage.  Rivals inevitably copy what they can and come up with tactics and/or technologies to blunt the effectiveness of what they can not produce or acquire.  Thus a critical element of success is your leaders' ability to learn on the fly, make adjustments, and attempt new tactics.  Winning generally requires having modern tactics and a modern organizational structure.  The nature of war will always be determined by the interaction between warriors and their tools, not by the tools alone.

It is the reality in which the people in the streets and houses, and fields--all the people anywhere--are the battlefield. This is basically due to a deep and abiding confusion between deploying a force and employing force. Military force when employed has only two immediate effects it kills people and destroys things. Yet it must always be made legal.  The use of military force is seen as an act of last resort to be entered into only after all other measures to achieve a resolution have been exhausted. What is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy; next best is to disrupt his alliances; next is to attack his army. Attacking the army brings us to the tactical level where we find battles , engagements and fights .  Tactical warfare is akin to the art of boxing. War amongst the people is mostly a tactical event with occasional forays into theatre level--yet there will be no decisive victories and solutions.  Rather than ...

To tame the uncertainity you will need to define the questions that need answering and the factors to watch to get your answers.  Isolating the unanswered questions and gauging the speed with which they are likely to go one way or another becomes a guide to management. variables changeable Predicting them is key.

Constraints allow us to think more freely.  The lager lesson is that the brain is a neural tangle of near infinite possibility, which means that it spends a lot of time and energy choosing what not to notice.  as a result, creativity is traded away for efficiency; we think in literal prose, not symbolist poetry.  And this is why constraints are so important:  It' not until we encounter an unexpected hindrance--a challenge we can't easily resolve--that the chains of cognition are loosened, giving us newfound access to the weird connections simmering in the unconscious.  When all data and ideas are on the table, there is endless potential, and we could spend weeks working through it in an effort to explain it all.  Constraints help us eliminate most of the data and focus on connecting what will fit within our constraints.  For us, constraints give form and shape.  We need to think through a number of questions that help us see in the context of cons...
