My next move? Hell, building more fighters to take on the British. Sieg heil! Oops, wrong game.
What’s your next move? Ask Alexander.
Or Genghis Khan…
or the Soviet Union.
Let us not forget the British.
And here is Rudyard Kipling’s advice: “When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.”
Rudyard Kipling
Great quote, Beth.
