The Skill of War is the indelible knowledge of sending men to their deaths in order that the greater portion of their friends might live. No general enjoys seeing his army slaughtered, but all must plant the bitter seed of death in order to watch the beauty that is life flower and grow. Without war, there would be no growth, and without growth, there would be naught but death. War is necessary, and those who study it will live on; those who do not will be ground under the boots of those who do.
