Generals look at a large map and make choices about tactics to win the war.
Colonels receive reports from their section of line and make choices to win their battle.
Soldiers see only what is right in front of them and make choices to survive the fight.
This only works if the intention of the generals is to win the war,.. and not just profit from it.
Our country is being managed by bankers and executives whose only interest is making the country appear profitable.
