"Military men have a saying: "I do not presume to act as master, I act as guest I do not presume to advance an inch, I retreat a foot." This is like "going forward without going forward rolling up the sleeves but baring no arm attacking without showing hostility drawing with no sword." Nothing brings greater disaster than the motto: "The enemy is nothing." Thinking, "the enemy is nothing": close to losing my Treasure. Yes, when they cross weapons and attack each other the one in mourning will win."
