kylestar35: “There us a very strong temptation…for government forces to act outside the law, the excuses being that the processes of law are too cumbersome, that the normal safeguards in the law for the individual are not designed for an insurgency and that a terrorist deserves to be treated as an outlaw anyway. Not only is this morally wrong, but, over a period, it will create more practical difficulties for a government than it solves. A government which does not act in accordance with the law forfeits the right to be called a government and cannot expect its people to obey the law. Functioning in accordance with the law is a very small price to pay in return for the advantage of being the government.” - Sir Robert Grainger Ker Thompson “If you wish to feign confusion in order to lure the enemy on, you must first have perfect discipline; if you wish to display timidity in order to entrap the enemy, you must have extreme courage; if you wish to parade your weakness in order to make the enemy over-confident, you must have exceeding strength.” “Everyone can see superficially how a battle is won; what they cannot see is the long series of plans and combinations which has preceded the battle.” “Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstance.” “Like water, taking the line of least resistance.” “Fortune favors the brace.” - Terence, Phormio “Death is nothing. But to live defeated and without glory, that us to die every day.” - Napoleon I “Cowards do not count in battle; they are there but not in it.” - Euripides, Meleager “The ideal commander unites culture with a warlike temper; the profession of arms requires a combination of hardness and tenderness.” “Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even until death.” “The only chance of life lies in giving up all hope of it.” “Those who want to make sure of succeeding in their battles and assaults must seize the favorable moments when they come and not shrink on occasion from heroic measures. What they must not do, and what will prove fatal, is to sit still and simply hold on to the advantages they have got.”
