Mussolini was not different. For example whenever he went to visit a military airport, they would bring airplanes from all over Italy to increase the numbers. What he thought was part of a big airforce were in fact the same planes over and over. When he went to war with Hitler he probably thought he had a good army. In practice since the suppliers of the army where chosen through corruption and nepotism, the soldiers couldn't even get working boots.

- kamaal 9y agoIf you incentivize an action, it's going to happen. Here there is a incentive to lie. One of Bill Clinton's qualities, is he listens to everybody and speaks and engages with them on a personal level. In most cases the leader is just a judge on a excellent team. Team does most of the work.
