Quotation of the Day for February 11, 2011"The fact that networks of highly mobile amateurs can confound --- even defeat --- a professional army is the only thing that has prevented empires from completely determining the course of history. Whether that is a good thing or not depends on what amateurs you're talking about --- or what empires --- but it does mean that you can't predict the outcome of a war simply by looking at the numbers." - Sebastian Junger, War.
