“You can only pretend that you're already dead and thus free yourself up to focus on three things: 1) finding and killing the enemy, 2) communicating the situation and resulting actions to adjacent units and higher headquarters, and 3) triaging and treating your wounded. If you love your men, you naturally think about number three first, but if you do you're wrong. The grim logic of combat dictates that numbers one and two take precedence.”
― Donovan Campbell, Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. ”

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
