~, BJ LYTLE BULL
Overco,nfidence has probably lost
as many battles and wars as any
other contributing factor. Hitler
was so sure he could Invade Eng-
land at any time after Dunkerque
which was convenient to him, that
he put off the attempt until It was
too late and therebY probably lost
the war. He was so sure he could
put Russia out of business that-
according to hearsay-he over-rode
the advice of his ge.neral staff and
committed practically the same er-
ror which defeated Napoleon. Over-
confidence was probably a contrib-
uting cause in the loss of Singa-
pore; and there Is reason to believe
that the lack of caution It engend-
ers made possible the success of the
Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor.
Military history abounds in trage-
dies, col1apses and defeats caused
by that fatal disease called OVER-
CONFIDE."'CE.
President Roosevelt in a recent
message to congress on the prog-
ress of the war. warns continu-
ally of the danger of thinking the
war is won--or nearly won. ';rhe
President has as profound a knowl-
edge of history as almost anyone
who Is not a professional historian.
and when he warns us that we
could lose all the advantages Which
we have so far won in this struggle
-he knows what he Is talking
about. His knowledge of the past
proves to him that wars have been
frequently lengthened or lost by the
feeling of assurance of one side or
the other that "the battle was
won." He knows that hundreds of
thousands of added Uves have bee.n
claimed by the ml11tary holocausts
of the past because of the relaxa-
tion created by the feeling that "we
can't lose now." We have never
heard the President crow about
how we are driving the Germans
and Japs off the face of the earth,
because he knows how fatal to our
cause this attitude can be. It Is
almost frightening by contrast to
listen to some few' of the radio
commentators who decla.lm about
Allied "blastings." Judging by the
computations of some of the most
optimistic of our "blasters," there
cannot possibly be a German or a
Jap still allve--and certainly they
have no airplanes left. As we read
and LIsten to this wishful thinking,
it becomes difficult to forego the
pleaSant feeling that It Is safe for
us to relax a bit, on the home front,
because "It won't be lo.ng now."
Well, that is just exactly how the
Nazis felt after Dunkerque, when
France had beenkn~cked out, and
Britain had her back to the wall.
That feellng-and their little con-
ceit that they could overrun Russia
and .later swallow the British Isles
-may' have lost the war for them
-provided-we proflt by their les-
son, and the other one thousand
lessons of mllltary history.
If we are to malte certain of win-
ning this war within a reasonable
,length of time we have got to keep
punching our hardest right now
while we have the .initiative in our
hands.
