"...as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
-Donald Rumsfeld

Rummie has been voted 'the sexiest guy alive.' Now, you know why. Duh! He also practices (Is a proponent of) asymmetrical warfare also known as 4GW, fourth generational warfare.

What is age old - in concept - gets a new name. ;) Right. It is also known as Guerilla warfare. Asymmetrical is the key. But that is all wrong,too.

Whatever wins, wins. A zero sum ballgame. A winner, a loser. We go beyond them all and follow the ways of Sun Tzu.

considerations I can forecast victory or defeat.


Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: –

1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?

2) Which of the two generals has most ability?

3) With whom lie the advantages derived from Heaven and Earth?

4) On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?1

5) Which army is stronger?2

6) On which side are officers and men more highly trained?3

7) In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?4"

one of my most favoritest things to do while drinking beer and schlepping through the Ardennes (and the rest of Europe) is to find ancient castles and storm them in a fit of mock-bezerker rage and then claim them for the Great State of Tennessee….. it’s quite fun, let me tell ya….. and to date, I have successfully stormed about fifteen castles, towers, monasteries, and other minor fortifications throughout Holland, England, Scotland, Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxemburg…. many while armed with only a rolled-up newspaper & a fierce grimace, I might add….. but hey, I am a conqueror at heart….. and you’d be surprised just how well a heavy slap from a copy of the Times of London works in subduing a bookish, be-spectacled castle tour guide….
