Campaign

Afghanistan as seen by: PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 2004

“With home-bred hordes the hillsides teem
The troopships bring us one by one,
At vast expense of time and steam
To slay Afridis where they run
The ‘captives of the bow and spear’
Are cheap alas! as we are dear.”
— Rudyard Kipling,
“Arithmetic on the Frontier”

The Motto Every FAQ Should Have

"What are the facts? Again and again and again - what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what 'the stars foretell,' avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable 'verdict of history' - what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"

We've got the bombs,
Let's make lots of bodies..."
