I missed the military strategy 101 section....

You didn't miss anything pertinent here. This government goes right from military tactics to political strategy with a "Bah, humbug" to military strategy. That could change; however, with the outcome of our next Presidential election.

That translation isn't right. That on-line text is bunk!! Arrrgh! I almost downloaded a bunch of crap.
;(

Granted there are many translations of this work, and since it was not originally written in English, there is room for interpretation. But I scanned it, and I found it hews closely to my previous readings.

What part of the translation do you object to, Cicero?

I find no mention of MBA's or top management in there. It is obviously a fake.

I don't know, I was hoping you had an original text on you..or someone..anyone?

Maybe it's since it's been so long since I've actually read it. It seemed better written, with more sophisticated content the last time I read it. Hmm..hopefully someone has an older text on them..
