The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. – Sun Tzu
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. – Sun Tzu
The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families. – Bob Schieffer
