Best Answer

Most military leaders have studied Sun Tzu's "Art of War" as well as Clausewitz' "Principles of War". Many of the Sun Tzu's precepts and techniques are parallel to Zen Buddhist thoughts on the instantaneous appreciation of the whole. Therefore all military leaders may be said to practice a limited form of Buddhism.
