In War The Will Is Directed At

In War, The Young Soldier Is Very Apt To Regard Unusual Fatigues As The Consquence Of Faults, Mistakes, And Embarrassment In The Conduct Of The Whole, And To Become Distressed And Depondent As A Consequence. This Would Not Happen If He Had Been Prepared For This Beforehand By Exercises In Peace.

Action In War Is Like Movement In A Resistant Element. Just As The Simplest And Most Natural Of Movements, Walking, Cannot Easily Be Performed In Water, So In War, It Is Difficult For Normal Efforts To Achieve Even Moderate Results.

Pursue One Great Decisive Aim With Force And Determination. The Bloody Solution Of The Crisis, The Effort For The Destruction Of The Enemy's Forces, Is The First-born Son Of War. Only Great And General Battles Can Produce Great Results. Blood Is The Price Of Victory.

Although Our Intellect Always Longs For Clarity And Certainty, Our Nature Often Finds Uncertainty Fascinating.

To Achieve Victory We Must Mass Our Forces At The Hub Of All Power & Movement. The Enemy's 'center Of Gravity'
