Book from an era when people needed to be told tactical advice like "outnumber your enemy it makes it easier to win" is now being taken as some kind of guide to socialization by PMC dude bros who think every relationship is transactional and every person is someone you need to compete with.
Book from an era when people needed to be told tactical advice like “outnumber your enemy it makes it easier to win”
You'd think that but the myth of having superiority based around an elite group of soldiers persisted throughout history and even today, to the point that Americans realy believe 1 US Marine = 100 Afghan/Iraqi soldiers. Heck you could go further and point out the entire rhetoric by the Nazis/US against the USSR in WW2 is explicitly denying this fact by dismissing it as "human wave" tactics. Even more pathetic when they start saying the same about Russia and China's army today.
Even the US don't really believe it, they just shift focus to having the most logistics and ordinance (and the looting of the Military Industrial complex is eroding even that)
