Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller, a regimental CO with the 1st Marine Division at the Chosin Reservoir who noted of the Chinese divisions surrounding them, "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

That reminds me of Chesty Puller's quote from the Korean War. "We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem".
