I suppose the Army AND Fort Leavenworth hasn't checked this quote out at all...

From their website: "The mission of the TPIO-ABCS is two fold. It serves as the Army's centralized manager and integrator of the Army Battle Command System to ensure horizontal and vertical information flow across the battlespace at each echelon. Additionally, it defines and/or integrates all battle command requirements and responsibilities from the theater Army to the individual soldier or platform." - TRADROC PROGRAM INTEGRATION OFFICE ARMY BATTLE COMMAND SYSTEM

This is not a military college, there are no military historians on staff. The "quote" is not attributed and I notice they are publishing many other "quotes" which are listed as anonymous sources. Of course, an anonymous quote is a true oxymoron, something that doesn't speak well for the scholarship on the quotes page. The quotes page is obviously an amateur effort, locally produced and consumed, not any sort of authoritative source by Army specialists or military historians.

Game, set, match? Try again. Why don't you find me a source from an instructor at the War College or at West Point. Or any professional historian.

Looks like our professor settles it.

Don't feel bad, I was using this quote and paraphrasing it myself until last week. Just too good a line for real life, I think.

Ok, so what you're saying is that the Army is plagiarizing quotes from hollyweird now, and posting them on their web sites? Ok.

I don't know for certain if he said those exact words, but I bet it was something close. He was in the US for many, MANY years leading up to World War 2, he knew what the US was capable of after an attack. So whether he said this exact quote or not, he said something close.

I knew better than to join the Army, that's why I went into the Air Force. (No offense to the Army or the personnel)
