–From The Best and The Brightest by David Halberstam

William Westmoreland was was in command of all US military operations in the Vietnam War from 1964 to 1968, including during the 1968 Tet Offensive.
As Halberstam makes perfectly clear, the motto describes why William Westmoreland was the perfect choice for General who lost the Vietnam War.
