1346 - Speaking of the Black Prince at Crécy:
"Also say to them, that they suffer him this day to win his spurs, for if god be pleased, I will this journey be his, and the honor thereof."
(Commonly quoted as: "Let the boy win his spurs.")
I just read a snippet that the S. Koreans may be asking the US for some nukes.
I think they should consider asking for some help from Israel who is becoming a bit more vocal than normal.
