The expectation of perfection and low cost in wartime is an impossible dream. Certainly, we should strive for it, but accept that we will never reach it.

So true.
Just like in project managment.... 'Good', 'Fast' and 'Cheap' are all things that customers want... all at the same time.
Not to digress, but when working software implementations on the civilian side, when faced with a customer was that was getting an unrealistic expectation of the progress that the project should have made by any given period of time...At an appropriate point in the discussion, I lsometimes pulled out a big paper triangle with those words written on the points of the triangle. I then told the customer to grab a hold of two of the points but that I got to hold the 3rd.
It is impossible for the customer to have all three.
