I am starting a Warfare Qoutes Thread... If you want to place some in it must be....
1) A legitimate source... (old or new)
2) Not repeated from another player (don't copy/paste just to get your post count up)
3) NOT a Murphy related statement UNLESS it was qouted by someone famous.
I will start this thread off.. I have some more classic qoutes from all my military books... I have them becuase they were required reading. And here we go...
"Brave men are a City's strongest tower of defence." ~ Acleaeus

"Subjugating the enemy's army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence"
"In order await the disordered;in tranquility await the clamorous.This is the way to control the mind."
"One whos is free from errors directs his measures toward [certain] victory,conquering those who are already defeated."
From Sun Tzu's The Art of War
