No doubt it's inspiring but I think he could have phrased it better *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 18/08/2010 02:54:56 PM
it is a bit like my favourite Hagakure quote:

By considering things like how many men the enemy has, time piles up; in the end you will give up.
No matter if the enemy has thousands of men, there is fulfillment in simply standing them off and being determined to cut them all down, starting from one end.
You will finish the greater part of it.

In fantasy it's very stirring but in real life it's...a waste *NM* - 18/08/2010 04:33:16 PM 415 Views

I find this Euro-speculation humorous and misguided. - 18/08/2010 05:02:18 PM 939 Views

You know I might just be *NM* - 18/08/2010 06:09:15 PM 356 Views
