CvC on proper Strategic Analysis: highlights are my own. Ends,Ways and Means are only half a Strategy, it completely overlooks the Human element of the motive for War. It is the Human element that always beats America...you would think we would have learned that by now.

"If you want to overcome your enemy you must match your effort against his power of resistance,which can be expressed as the product of two inseparable factors,viz. The total means at his disposal and the strength of his will. The extent of the means at his disposal is a matter-though not exclusively-of figures,and should be measurable. But the strength of his will is much less easy to determine and can only be gaged approximately by the strength of the motive animating it."
