I know the military is not a business and the purpose is not to make a profit. But if it were a business there would have to be many changes to be successful. What would your primary changes be and why? What would you keep the same?

A smarter man than I (Steven Pressfield) considered this question and came to a thrilling conclusion.

We had a Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara who tried to run the military with business management principles he used when he ran Ford Motors. He used Case Studies, Statistical Analysis, Correlation & Probability Forecasting, Cost Analysis & Cost Management during Vietnam. McNamara used this data for decision making and presentations to President Lyndon Johnson. Most Vietnam Historians are mixed over the results of McNamara's tenure as SecDef . His business management principles were not used again by other SecDefs or used to manage a war by any other Presidents after Johnson.
