"A speedy victory is the main object in war. If this is long in coming, weapons are blunted and morale depressed. If troops are attacking cities, their strength will be exhausted. When the army engages in protracted campaigns, the resources of the state will fall short. When your weapons are dulled and ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and treasure spent, the chieftains of the neighboring states will take advantage of your crisis to act. In that case, no man, however wise, will be able to avert the disastrous consequences that ensue. Thus, while we have heard of stupid haste in war, we have not yet seen a clever operation that was prolonged for there has never been a protracted war which benefited a country. Therefore, those unable to understand the evils inherent in employing troops are equally unable to understand the advantageous ways of doing so."

Just remember, too.
...there's nothing quite so uncommon anymore, as common sense.
Those who have difficulty understanding God's Plan will never understand Satan or his diabolical works! What God has created...Satan destroys! War is one of those means from the works of Satan, prince of light of this world. For Satan's legions are conquerors on a mission to destroy...and in order for them to conquer, they weave magic over the masses. Magic is Satan's diabolical means to conquer Man's mind. That is why man's mind is the most powerful weapon.
