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...

Sun Tzu, way too intellectual for me, I'll go read a book.

The rifle squad of the Marine Corps is the result of many years of development and combat experience...
The purpose of offensive combat is to destroy the enemy and his will to fight. Offensive action is the only means by which a decision is gained in combat. It requires superiority over the enemy, but superiority in numbers or fire alone is not necessarily the deciding factor. In the final analysis, superiority is achieved by a combination of higher morale, greater aggressiveness, a higher quality of leadership, better training and better equipment.

Guidebook for Marines
Squad Tactics, pg 167
Eleventh Edition, July 1, 1967

That works.

"Crush the enemy." Let's hope Dubyah has done a little reading of Sun Tzu. Mao Tse-tung certainly did! &;-)
