I think it was Sun Tzu. And I think he referred to the fact that soldiers will only following leaders who take care of them. Support of the flag requires resources and soldiers will follow where resources are available for provisions or something like that.
The Reagan twist on Tzu's Art of War; was compasion through strength, or out spending your enemy will lead to your enemies defeat without firing a single shot.
Reagan was a lot easier to understand than Tzu.
