Echoes

The Washington Post tells us that the US military is obtaining what used to be called a favorable "kill ratio."

700 to 70--sounds good, right? Well, maybe not:

"For everyone you lose we will lose ten, but you will tire first."

Who said that? I'll tell you:
Vo Nguyen Giap, guerrilla warfare genius. He stuck it to the Japanese, the French, the RVN, and the United States.

Some things just don't change. Unfortunately.
