War always costs more than you expect. Hostility takes over every facet of your accustomed life. It worms and digs its way into each tiny crevice, spreading, ripping, and shredding everything that is familiar. Eventually, fighting congeals and reforms itself into a living, breathing reality that consumes everything you knew.

Sometimes fighting against evil is not a choice, but an imperative.

Adaptability and innovation are the root of victory. Chaos and fear are the birth of defeat.

Of his body the most vulnerable, and the easiest to attack, is the mind. Defeat your enemy's mind and you conquer their will to fight.

The sacrifice of victory occurs years before the war begins. Once the battle starts it is too late.
