    This is from the article and is a direct quote from CvC but it does not cite the exact passage.

    “The moral elements
    are the most important in war.
    They constitute the spirit that permeates
    war as a whole, and at an early
    stage they establish a close affinity
    with the will that moves and leads the
    whole mass of force. . . . History provides
    the strongest proof of the importance
    of moral factors and their often
    incredible effect.”


    But here is my interpretation of that. Moral is what is right and wrong and if you are morally right you will have high morale (spirit to fight for what is right)
    and the physical manifestation of both Moral and Morale will be your Leaders and the enemies Leaders. And that would make them COG's for both physical attacks and propaganda attacks (morally wrong war).
