day no. 15,124: wishes get stitches

"At the operational level much more than at the tactical, logistics dictates what is possible and what is not. 'A campaign plan that cannot be logistically supported is not a plan at all, but simply an expression of fanciful wishes.'" -- MCDP 1-2: Campaigning

Proverbs 12:11
Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

A plan that works in your daydreams, but not in broad daylight is not a plan. It's a failure in process. It is a plan only in the sense that it has steps and leads to somewhere, but those steps are foolish and that somewhere is destruction.

Proverbs 28:19
Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.

There will be plenty of something. The one who has a plan that can be cashed out will have plenty of cash, while the one with the plan borrowed against the clouds will have plenty of hot air.
