"One of the things I believe fervently was said probably 175 years ago by Clausewitz: 'In battle, outcomes are determined by this trinity. You have to have a decision by the state. You have to have military capacity to get the work done. And you have to have the will of the people.' In my lifetime, I have not seen the enduring confluence of those three things until post-9/11." -- Gen.
