I agree.
Am a big believer in the Powell Doctrine. Some people dismiss it because they don’t like Colin Powell. The Powell Doctrine seems to still be mainly on the mark.
Unfortunately, back then and today, if you lie to yourself when answering those Powell Doctrine questions, it becomes rather pointless.
What the media labeled The Powell Doctrine I’m pretty sure I saw in the book “On Strategy” long before and Powell took most of his from Weinberg.
