“Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.”

In Joseph Heller's wonderful book, Catch 22, about an American bomber squadron in WWII. An officer from G-3 was telling the crews for the upcoming air strike on Germany that he did not care if the bombs actually hit any targets as long as they were in a tight bomb pattern...
During the American Civil war one General stated that "You put war plans on paper and develop them down to the last detail, but it does not matter...As soon as the first bullet flies through the air you may as well toss out any war plans."

“It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.”
