To win a war you have to kill more of their boys and break more of their toys than they yours in the most massive and horrifying manner possible.Swahili anyone??????
I follow 2 rules of war...1. To see my enemies driven before me2. to hear the lamentations of the womenalso decreed by Conan
Simple – Self explanatory. I do get a kick out of this: “Everything in war is very simple, but the simple thing is difficult.” I thought smoking weed in the military was discouraged. Human nature is to complicate the simple. Simple is complicated because human nature is like herding cats. Very complex systems are erotic to the ego and very vulnerable to failure because of their highly distributed interdependant structures. Simple always works in a sterile sense. Dropping some number of A-Bombs on Afghanistan and Pakistan would solve the poppy and Taliban problem. If all the players on the Rooks side for three hours one evening decided to fly as a single structered super hoard, they would close down the arena.Masters of artforms and superior generals make the execution of their craft look simple. Simple in itself is an artform requiring mastering ones own natural tendancy to be enamored of oneself and distracted by the sound and fury of existance. It would have been simple to let Patton extend WW2 to fighting the Russians. We were at full capacity in men, material, superior technology, the A-Bomb and had forces in place on both sides of the U.S.S.R. The reminants of the german and japanese forces probably could have been used to augment our forces.See how easily I complicated things....
