One more thing. You say, OK, give AQ their victory. There is where your lack of perspective gives you away.

It will not be me, or you who give them a victory should they gain one. It will be those old men I spoke of earlier who are out of harms way and yet they control the entire show. Look to them for our defeat. My wish in war is to kill then enemy with everything at my disposal, every club in the bag but we never do that, never. It is they who use up our young until they decide to quit. And when they decide to quit and you’ve given all and lost friends by the score, then you will see how impuissant you are in the scheme of things.
