War is Inevitable...

...when your enemy continues to attack. (Unless you're a Liberal, in which case, surrender and retreat is inevitable. But we'll just disregard that attitude as the product of sick and tortured minds.)

"We have to accept this conclusion: a commander cannot escape battle when his adversary intends to engage him no matter what... But, when he makes a bold attempt, holding nothing back, he may yet surprise and conquer."

Machiavelli

The old boy still has stuff to teach those who are willing to learn.
