Just as a person speaking in a language he has not fully mastered sometimes says things he did not intend, so policy can order things not in accord with its intention. This has happened often, and it is the lesson of history that a certain knowledge of military affairs is essential to the management of political matters. —Karl von Clausewitz— (Vom Kriege, 1830)
