There is a great deal of talk about loyalty from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and much less prevalent. One of the most frequently noted characteristics of great men who have remained great is loyalty to their subordinates.

When everyone agrees, someone is not thinking.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. Pray when driving. Pray when fighting. Pray alone. Pray with others. Pray by night and pray by day. Pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for Battle.Pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. Pray for victory. Pray for our Army, and Pray for Peace. We must march together, all out for God.

Why is it that all battles are fought in the middle of the night, in downpouring rain, and at the corners of four different maps?

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.
