At times it is worthy to recall the thoughts of those before us. In this vain, my son offered this quote:

"Aviation is fine as a sport. But as an instrument of war, it is worthless." General Ferdinand Foch, Professor of Strategy, Ecole Superiure de Guere, 1911.

Or,

"No aircraft ever took and held ground." US Marine Corps Manual, maybe the Handbook for Marine NCOs, I'm not sure which manual this quote is taken from.

As platoon sergeant TerHorst said in basic training forty years ago. You can bomb it. You can sterilise it. You can shell it. But you can't call it YOURS until you can send a rifleman to sit on it.

(just a rifleman who was sent to sit on it by the okes in Pretoria)
