The Importance of Formal Orders

Patton: Plans must be simple and flexible. They are only a form of data plane from which you build as necessity directs or opportunity offers. High physical condition is vital to victory. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. So you got to be in shape. And it's probably the most important one to remember from General Patton. Courage. Do not take counsel of your fears. Your fears don't get a vote. It's General Patton. Great book. Great leader. Lots to learn. Lots to pass on. War as I knew it.
