Army Officer Accuses Generals of 'Intellectual and Moral Failures'

[slapout9]

I posted this on another thread awhile back but I think it has bearing on this discussion. It was the address delivered to the 1974 graduating class of the USMA at West Point. It was given by Ayn Rand and the title is "Philosophy Who Needs It?" She was once asked by a reporter why she choose to study Philosophy? Her reply was "Because it is the fundamental force that moves the world." A link to the address is posted below.

Isn't this what a General needs to know more than anything else?
