Seems to me that General George S Patton had the right idea. "Grab the enemy by the throat and kick him in the ass!".

Not too shabby for an "Army Puke".

Semper Fi!

Glad to have met with your approval. Some military concepts are timeless. Like "Grab 'em by the balls, and their hearts and minds will follow."

I can't believe that's all there was! Good set though... I still like Sun Tzu's

A well ordered and trained force that attacks a force 5 times its size with total ferocity will prevail.

F'ing MARINES, BABY! HOOAH!!

I just went to amazon.com and placed "Sun Tzu's The Art of War" and "A Book of Five Rings" in my shopping cart ... anything else you suggest before I hit buy?? I've always loved these kinds of military philosophies.

Using these principles, how would you analyze the Afghan campaign; Tora Bora, Anaconda and the current Operation Snipe?

If you can find it, buy the translatiion of Art of War which contains a forward by James Clavell. It's the best of the four I own.
