Lazamataz's Art Of War

VISIBILITY

If we can see it, we can kill it.

Being invisible is better than being well-armed.

FORCE MULTIPLIERS

Use terrain when possible, it is a force-multiplier.

Good CCC is an extreme force multiplier.

Being dug-in is no longer a meaningful defense advantage. Mobility is better than fortification.

WAR BY OTHER MEANS

Propaganda is king in todays world. If possible, record or even manufacture 'war crimes' by your enemy.

A camera is nearly as deadly as a bomb, properly employed.

Get news out on your terms and you may win world approval.

Lazamataz's Art Of War

Great stuff. Never heard of the author, though. Is there a book?

[PsyOp]

Can't get enough PME can you?

Pardon my cluelessness - what's PME?

[Lazamataz]

Great stuff. Never heard of the author, though. Is there a book?

Can I get a nice advance? The author is (blush) me. :o)

[PsyOp]

Well, if there's enough for a book I think you might start looking for a publisher.

See .........it pay's to stay awake in class Laz !

Louis Beam, Col Amoss, Sun Tzu, The 40 Ronin, and now Lazamataz's theory on being effective versus evasive is something all need to understand in these seditious times we are subjected to by socialist's inside the wire. Just my opinion of course.........

Stay Safe Laz.....

[Squantos]

I think it's a reference to Professional Military Education aka ........(PME).........

Sounds like Air Force Wingnut jargon. Just a language skill they don't teach at DLI that I picked up during my 26 years in Uncle Sugars Wind Force !

Stay Safe !

Sun Tzu unfortunately was not read by Temujin (AKA Ghenghis Khan) whose motto was;

"You may have what you can take. You may keep what you can hold"

In one sentence he summed up the rule of war, politics, economics and life in general.

See .........it pay's to stay awake in class Laz !

They always told me what I learn will save my life. Tends to make a man focus. :o)

I also observed later on that the best camouflage is not Woodland Camouflage #2, or the new "Pixelized" version of Woodland that they are issuing, but ordinary street clothes. It is the best way to blend in to a lot of people, and it seems people are in such abundance as to become as ubiquitious as forest used to be.

Thanks. We Army Pukes need things spelled out for us, as my Jar Head brother is so fond of saying.

You were USAF??? I thought you were a victim of gravity!

Temujin

I've been reading a lot about him lately. The greatest conqueror of all time, a brilliant strategist, and a fierce leader whose troops followed and obeyed out respect for him as man and warrior. To bad he didn't write a book of military maxims.

[Squantos]

So much for reading all my post's and freepmail over the years eh Laz......compression fractures in my back prove I was a victim of thin air PLF's & Gravity. Uncle Sugar's Wind Force, Navy, Marines and Army all attend the same schools for EOD....all at the same time. Different service instructor almost every other day.......We then work togeather on deployments like Secret Service VIP's and range clearances, and of course the odd low intensity conflict or two that alway's pop's up here and there over ones career.

Sorry if I mislead ya Bro !!??!! _{....... (pay attention damnit ........:o)}

Stay Safe !

He was the leader of one of the smaller tribes in the steppes of the Gobi desert. The Empire reached it's zenith under Kublai his grandson. Unfortunately military and political genius proved not to be heredetary as the unified empire collapsed with the passing of Kublai.

[PsyOp]

Just my opinion of course....

And a mighty fine one at that.
