It is further true that not only may a campaign be successful in the military sense, and yet in the largest historical sense be a failure, but, quite evidently, the actions in a campaign may each be successful and yet the campaign a failure; or each action may, on the whole, fail, and yet that campaign be a success. as the old formulæ go, “you can win every battle and lose your campaign.” and, again, “a great general does not aim at winning battles, but at winning his campaign.” an action results from the contact of the opposing forces, and from the necessity in which they find themselves, after such contact, of attempting the one to disorganise or to capture the other. and in the greater part actions are only “accepted,” as the phrase goes, by either party, because each party regards the action as presenting opportunities for his own success. how does the author's inclusion of the quotes in this paragraph to enhance his overall argument? a) they support his argument concerning how war campaigns should be run. b) they contribute to an understanding of how ineffective military tactics are. c) they indicate that the author doesn't believe in military action. d) they are counter-claims to the main argument concerning how war campaigns should be run.
