“Four brave men who do not know each other will not dare to attack a lion.  Four less brave but knowing each other well, sure of their reliability and consequently of mutual aid, will attack resolutely.  There, is the science of the organization of armies in a nutshell.”
--- Colonel Charles Ardant du Picq

This was in a facinating book I'm currently reading titled "On Killing" by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman.

Anyone else reading/have read this book?
