My experience and military training is that if you stop and think about
anything too much and overanalyze it, you become a very good target. Either
that, or you become immobilized with indecision and do exactly nothing.

Some military experience and training like leadership and building
mission-oriented take-names small teams can be very useful in
civilian life. Other aspects don't work at all for civilians. If
you were once military and now civilian, you need to know the
difference because the rules of engagement (and therefore some
tactics) are quite different. The gov't trains civilians to
sojer but they don't re-train sojers to become civilians again.

Even in a combat sit, the degree of forethought depends on the sit
which is never static. Being static and indecisive is often fatal,
but acting from inability to not act rather than thought-out tactical
response can be fatal faster. It's a very useful tactic with a
green enemy: maintain modest and sporadic but effective fire
pressure without unduly expending ammo stores until they feel like
they just gotta do something and are thus driven by adrenaline and
testosterone to make a tactical and fatal error,

The same concept and tactics are practiced every day in the biz world
though the details of technique differ. Greed replacies need to
survive but some don't know the difference. .
