Quotation of the Day for June 14, 2013"It's difficult to explain exactly, but it's rather like bridge as compared to belote. When we make war, we play belote with thirty-two cards in the pack. But their game is bridge and they have fifty-two cards: twenty more than we do. Those twenty cards short will always prevent us from getting the better of them. They've got nothing to do with traditional warfare, they're marked with the sign of politics, propaganda, faith, agrarian reform..." - Jean Lartéguy, in his novel The Centurions, comparing the different ways in which the French and Vietminh approached warfare.
