As for decisions of strategy and overall command, they must please many masters: dissenters in the cabinet, the heads of the allied states and public opinion. Hence failures must be disguised or concealed.

Anger is a little thing. Hate is a little thing. Order is a little thing. Each of these little things has a major impact on the big picture.
