The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom."

"Those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle. They capture the enemy's cities without assaulting them and overthrow his state without protracted operations."

Yikes! Apparently the ACLU's up on their Sun Tzu as well... !

Conan: Crucified and the only person or thing he loved assassinated

Well that was the movie Conan. The hero of Robert E. Howard's creation actually went on to become a king by his own hand and there was never a Valeria.
