Too important to be left to the generals

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

From: Dr. Strangelove

Do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war? –Uh, no, I don't think I do, sir, no. –He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought.

Sterling Hayden (Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper) | Peter Sellers (Group Captain Lionel Mandrake)
