Summary

This quote suggests that if the military were to assume control over intelligence operations, there would be an inherent danger due to their unique worldview and approach. Military forces are primarily trained for combat and their perspective is oriented towards defense and strategic objectives. Intelligence, on the other hand, requires a more comprehensive understanding of various complex issues and the ability to assess different perspectives. Thus, the concern lies in potential biases and limitations that may arise if intelligence operations are solely driven by a military perspective, potentially compromising the accuracy and efficacy of intelligence gathering and analysis.

Men were only made into men with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally a man any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.
