Never worry about the bullet with your name on it. Instead, worry about shrapnel addressed to 'occupant'. All battles are fought uphill. All battles are fought in the rain. Logistics is the ball and chain of armoured warfare.
Military intelligence is a contradiction of terms.
What gets you promoted from one rank gets you killed in the next rank. A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. If orders can be misunderstood, they will be. War is like love. To triumph, you must make contact.
