Sounds familiar? "An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes." Sun Tzu Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thought. https://lnkd.in/d8NfQYte

Very nice review of my book "Asian Armageddon 1944-1945" in Army History magazine, published by the US Army Center of Military History. Excerpts: "A rare combination of succinct and excellently researched history of the last twenty months of World War II... Clearly demonstrates the national and ethnic complexities of the Asia-Pacific Theater in a meaningful manner." #book #bookreview #history #ww2 #asia

-- Sun Tzu Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu, was an ancient Chinese General, military strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC). He is traditionally credited as the author of "The Art of War," an influential work on military strategy that has impacted both Western and East Asian philosophical and military thinking. Sun Tzu's birth name was Sun Wu, and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu, which means "Master Sun," is an honorific title. His teachings on warfare advocate for strategic flexibility and psychological warfare, emphasizing the importance of adaptability in response to changing circumstances. "The Art of War" has been revered for centuries and continues to be a significant influence on both military planning and strategy in various fields beyond the military, including business and legal strategies. #inspirationalquote #motivationalquote #wisdomquotes #lifelesson #SunTzu

On this 80th anniversary of D Day, I am reminded of the foresight of then Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall. In the buildup to WWII, Marshall recognized the unprecedented demands the war would place on America’s soldiers. His solution was not a master resiliency program, not a popular psychology program nor any effort to disconnect the soldier’s spirit from his soul. Marshall’s answer was to elevate the role of the Chaplain Corps and build 555 chapels around the force. That force met the largest military mission in history victoriously. Mutliple empirical studies reveal religious practice remains the #1 human reslliency factor. Religious practice presents an answer to every chronic harmful behavior the Army has tried to solve and paid millions to contractors for solutions for over the years, yet is still struggling with. Leadership has tried secular answers and lost soldiers amidst historically less mission success. The soldier will always have a soul the needs of which the secular cannot meet. “Spiritual but not religious” solutions are like addressing hunger with the non nutritious. Faith is the real key to the strong and ready team. The Army needs a robust Chaplain Corps led by strong servants of God empowered by senior leadership with the humility to recognize what Marshall did; our soldiers need the Almighty’s power at their points of weakness. Feed the souls of our Soldiers and our Army will Be All It Can Be! #faith #faithingod #religious #religiouspractice #soulcare #resilience #victory #suicideprevention #mentalhealth #maritalhealth #unityindiversity #chaplain #usarmy #ChaplainCorps
