“The crumbling of the whole system of doctrines and organisation, to which our leaders had attached themselves, deprived them of their motive force. A sort of moral inhibition made them suddenly doubtful of everything, and especially of themselves. From then on, the centrifugal forces were to show themselves rapidly.” — General Charles de Gaulle, The Call to Honour, 1955 “The thing in any organization is the creation of a soul.” — General George S. Patton, July 1941
