If You Find Yourself Under Lethal Attack Don't Be Kind. Be Harsh. Be Tough. Be Ruthless.

If You Don't Understand Weapons You Don't Understand Fighting. If You Don't Understand Fighting You Don't Understand War. If You Don't Understand War You Don't Understand History. And If You Don't Understand History You Might As Well Live With Your Head In A Sack.

Government, As The Father Of Our Country Put It So Well, Is A Dangerous Servant And A Fearful Master. People Who Understand History, Especially The History Of Government, Do Well To Fear It.
