“ Sweat saves blood. ”
In a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine.
~ Erwin Rommel
But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility.
It is often possible to decide the issue of a battle merely by making an unexpected shift of one's main weight.
The organization of supplies, the command of men, anything in any way constructive requires more than intellect; it requires energy and drive and an unrelenting will to serve the cause, regardless of one's personal interests.
