Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

In studying hte physical aspect, we must never lose sight of the psychological, and only when both are combined is the strategy truly an indirect approach, calculated to dislocate the opponent's balance.

- Sir Basil H. Liddel-Hart
