Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

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

If you find your opponent in a strong position costly to force, you should leave him a line of retreat as the quickest way of loosening his resistance. It should, equally, be a principle of policy, especially in war, to provide your opponent with a ladder by which he can climb down.

- Sir Basil H. Liddel-Hart
