Yup - and I can recall when the CCP invaded Vietnam in 1979 and got their asses handed to them in a month's time. We at least held out for a few years before we got our asses handed to us, and that wouldn't have happened if the politicians hadn't turned tail and ran. That war is the only war I know of where we won every battle and still lost the war - and the CCP couldn't hold out even that long...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
