Now I feel bad! I made Von Clausewitz sad!
Think about what you did! Poor Carl has been inconsolable
don’t know your von Clausewitz by heart
Dude, have you read “vom kriege”? Clausewitz can be about as clear and transparant as fucking Nostradamus. I got through the book, then read a second book that explained it and went “It does NOT say that!” about 8 million times.
I have, as part of a course on military history (3000 years ago). I don’t disagree with you at all, it was an absolute fucking slog
Ok, I’ll bite. How bout them yankees?
we’re pretty good at the war thing, not so great at the politik thing
