The Best Form Of Defense Is Attack.

Close Combat, Man To Man, Is Plainly To Be Regarded As The Real Basis Of Combat.

Surprise Becomes Effective When We Suddenly Face The Enemy At One Point With Far More Troops Than He Expected. This Type Of Numerical Superiority Is Quite Distinct From Numerical Superiority In General: It Is The Most Powerful Medium In The Art Of War.

The Conqueror Is Always A Lover Of Peace: He Would Prefer To Take Over Our Country Unopposed.

What Do We Mean By The Defeat Of The Enemy? Simply The Destruction Of His Forces, Whether By Death, Injury, Or Any Other Means-either Completely Or Enough To Make Him Stop Fighting. . . . The Complete Or Partial Destruction Of The Enemy Must Be Regarded As The Sole Object Of All Engagements. . . . Direct Annihilation Of The Enemy's Forces Must Always Be The Dominant Consideration.

War Is Nothing But A Duel On A Larger Scale.
