Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



The art of using troops is this:
When ten to the enemy's one, surround him;
When five times his strength, attack him;
If double his strength, divide him;
If equally matched you may engage him;
If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;
And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him, for a small force is but booty for one more powerful.

- Sun Tzu ("Art Of War")
