[ExI] quote of the day

[William Flynn Wallace]

Long before nuclear weapons, states having more armed men in the field lost
battles and wars. That was never a guarantee of victory in battle or in
wars. Often it lulled one side into thinking they would win or wouldn't be
attacked because they had the larger numbers on their side.  dan

Just think of all the wars fought between France and England and today
there is no territory in France that belongs to England and vice versa.
What an enormous waste of men, materials and money.  All for royal spite.

My Dad was in WWI - born 1997
