A Series Of Temporary Conditions

“To win without a fight, we must be able to win a fight.  And we must make our adversary sure of that, by keeping multiple options that give them multiple dilemmas,” he said.  “War is a series of temporary conditions, and you lose during the transition.  Something always changes, so the question is, are we prepared for the transitions?”
—  Gen. David Perkins,
Commander of the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command
