Military mind Corner reader we’ve quoted now and again in the last week comments on the word from the battlefield on resistance:

The First Rule of war planning, which every soldier, sailor, airman, marine
and coast guardsman knows: No plan EVER survives contact with the enemy.
That’s why he’s the enemy.
People who expect that a plan will go exactly as written are in the same
General-officer class as Greta van Susteren, Aaron Brown and Janeane
Garafolo.
It’s also the last rule of war planning.
Murphy wrote all the rules in-between.
