No nation has ever benefited from a prolonged war.
If this is long delayed, weapons are blunted and morale depressed.
To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.
All wars are won or lost before they are ever fought.
Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
Go into emptiness, strike voids, bypass what he defends hit him where he does not expect you.
