WAR IS THE FATHER OF ALL THINGS:
WARRIORS:
" Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't be there, eighty are just targets, nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back"
- HERACLITUS - 535 - 475 GREEK PHILOSOPHER
