“However, as American scholar Williamson Murray had written, “One of the foremost attributes of military effectiveness must lie in the ability to recognize and adapt to the actual conditions of combat, as well as to the new challenges that war inevitably throws up.” It was probably one of her favorite quotes. She often pondered this idea.”

“Shit, Lee thought. Fuckers are trying an envelopment of our position by moving along the boundaries between our units. It was a clever move, and one she would ponder more later. She recalled then the old saying that the enemy always attacks at the joins in your maps!”
