Also, let's not forget Julius Caesar's maxim;

"Pay your legions. Nothing else matters."

[Rightwing Canuck]

He should have said:

"Pay your legions ... and guys named Brutus. Nothing else matters."

LOL ;)

Good information. In fact, so good that I just checked your profile. Please tell Steve M. that I am one of his biggest fans! Got so tired of not being able to get WABC online (strike), that I finally gave up. Thanks to you, I bookmarked his website.

Awesome! I am one happy camper tonight!

Interesting Screename. There is an epic Argentine poem about a Gaucho named Martin Fierro. God, I hadn't heard that name since I was a child on the Pampas.

Modern armies and much of business strategy today are governed by Lanchester Strategy....see

Re #18

That is because Mongols are basically steppe warriors who refused to give up their way of life to efficiently govern their empire. However, it helped them to preserve their identity and survive as an ethnic group until today. They did not blend into Chinese society and did oppress them ruthlessly, for example. They maintained that distance between them and their conquered subjects, which foster increased resentments. So eventually they were thrown out by locals as more or less intact ethnic group.

All steppe nomads, not just Mongols, had real contempts for civilized way of life as corrupt, cowardly, and lazy. In their views, they were sheeps to be slaughtered for nomads' benefit when they need extra food or any material. They were not about to adopt the life-style of hapless sheep. They genuinely believed that their way is superior because they conquered them handily. Nothing else mattered. Turks and Manchus also had to grapple with this issue of how much assimilation they will accept. I think that Turks were more sucessful than Manchus. Manchus were melted into the ocean of Chinese.

"All political power extends from the barrel of a rifle" Mao Tse Tung. "The only thing that matters in espionage is Expedience" Richard Burton in "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" Psyops...Another Grand Salami! Do Jay...Can Con Fu Tse be far behind?

I wouldn't sign up for a magazine subscription without evaluating it according to "Art"...No High Schooler should take a college placement test without being able to quote Sun Tzu, IMHO...Although the Fing elite Educational system would blanche...

OH!!! Another great Quote!!!

"There are those who describe a polite dinner conversation as only warfare concealed...There are others, who prefer battle to be more Honest...More Open"

Khan Nunien Singh...Star Trek "SPACE Seed".

Best Episode ever made...I KNEW they were going to make a movie out of that one the first night I saw it in the 60's!!! Ricardo Montalban...You can mock his rich corinthian leather and his Tatoo periods all you want...but that mother knew how to wield a scalpel in that episode...
