We see the beast without and

We fear the greater beast within.

But those who win, fear the least, and

Sense the greater fear within the beast.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, Dangerous Doggerel, 1997.

As a self-made military historian without much of a portfolio, I still know that you cannot understand a battle without walking the ground of the battlefield. To see the ground from the perspective of the combatants tells you almost everything you need to know to understand why they did what they did. This past week I walked the battlefield of the Gunwalker Scandal. I talked to the combatants of both sides. And now I understand both the shape of the battle to come and how it may be won.

“....Perform and excel or sit your candy@$$ down and stay out of the way of those who can perform and excel...”

You have absolutely, completely, and totally nailed the ultimate end-all, be-all quote of all time.

A wonderful variation of “Either Lead, Follow, or get the hell out of the way”.

Outstanding post!

LOL! Too cute.

[MestaMachine]

Well, how often do we ‘gurls’ get compliments around here? For our minds, I mean. LOL

[TheOldLady]

To be perfectly honest with you, the only compliments I ever get anymore are for my mind. LOL! Not that I'm complaining. It's better than nothing, LOL!

For later.
