Quotation from: The Art of War

Written by: Sunzi (6th cent. B.C.)


When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too
weak, the result is COLLAPSE.


[Ts`ao Kung says: "The officers are energetic and want to
press on, the common soldiers are feeble and suddenly collapse."]


17. When the higher officers are angry and insubordinate,
and on meeting the enemy give battle on their own account from a
feeling of resentment, before the commander-in-chief can tell
whether or no he is in a position to fight, the result is RUIN.
