Quote by Jack Kemp

Councils of war breed timidity and defeatism.

Councils of war breed timidity and defeatism.

Summary

This quote suggests that when decisions are made collectively by a council or group of individuals in a war situation, it can lead to a lack of boldness, confidence, and a defeatist mentality. The process of deliberation and considering multiple perspectives can often result in a cautious approach and hesitation to take decisive actions. As a result, it implies that councils of war may hinder effective decision-making, and potentially contribute to an overall sense of pessimism and likely failure in military conflicts.
