Dead battles, like dead generals, hold the military mind in their dead grip.
Barbara Tuchman
There are two ways to fight the United States military: asymmetrically and stupid. Asymmetrically means you're going to try to avoid our strengths. In the 1991 Gulf War, it's like we called Saddam's army out into the schoolyard and beat up that army.

That evening, I played piano for ten thousand barely-out-of-their-teens boys who filled the Kabul stadium.
