MY SAY: TOO LATE
In William Manchester’s superb biography of General Douglas MacArthur “American Caesar” there is a very apposite quote from General MacArthur in 1937 when he was confronted by a pacifist Congress:
“The history of failure in war can be summed up in two words….”Too Late:..Too late in comprehending the deadly purpose of a potential enemy; too late in realizing the mortal danger; too late in preparedness; too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance; too late in standing with one’s friends.”
