The fundamental lesson of war is to be prepared for the next. As a general, I should not expect there to be peace. If I fight, solely for the purpose of peace, then I will never be ready for another war. Even if I was to fall in battle, tomorrow, you will be present to take the reins. Even if you were the fall in battle, tomorrow, another will succeed you. Such is the way. It is only until the moment in which we begin to fear, that fewer and fewer men will dare lead. But there will never be no one who cannot fulfill the duty of which we are presently doing. There will always be someone waiting for their chance to become a new generation of leaders.14Please respect copyright.PENANA2rrNht6e4M
I am no seer. I am no god. I cannot foresee the future. Whether we emerge victorious or defeated, the latter I believe being the more likely, the resistance that we can harness out of our men will force Vasilevsky, perhaps his peers, to revise their strategy. In the doubt that we have cast over their heads, our allies are rewarded with time. Time to regroup. Time to restrengthen. Time to restrategize. But by that point, our names will mean nothing. Be prepared to be forgotten. Before then, at least, we would have known that our comrades and ourselves have done everything that could have been done to reward the millions who fight with us an easier time.14Please respect copyright.PENANAJYJlMLIEd1
So do not fear, Jacek, as I request for all else. You should know that from the moment we have set foot in this world of war, our death warrants have been preemptively signed.14Please respect copyright.PENANATcVRGWiOOy
