Before reading Warfighting (Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1) I thought business was uncertain and risky and difficult. After reading Warfighting, I now think business is relatively certain, positively safe, and relatively easy.
My god.

Related: There are two things I often hear Army people say:
• No plan survives first contact with the enemy.
• The enemy gets a vote.
They definitely started as the traditional meaning of “enemy,” but get used more broadly. The enemy could be a natural disaster, a problem, etc

I’ve definitely heard of “no plan survives first contact with the enemy”, but Chapter 1 just drives home how deeply true and terrible and “wtf what happened?” it is, to a degree I’d not understood or internalised.
