Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

One of the mandatory reading assignment at a couple of Mlitary Education courses I took during my career was “On War” by Carl Von Clausewitz.

While he didn’t write the exact quote that most people know from the book, “The fog of war” is attributed to Von Clausewitz.

The line from Vom Kriege (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War) is “ War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty. A sensitive and discriminating judgment is called for; a skilled intelligence to scent out the truth.”

Not an easy read, but it is interesting if that’s your thing...

Thus, my user name...
