Special Operations Troops

Famous quotes containing the words special, operations and/or troops:

    And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:

    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.

    Therefore the skilful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.
