Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

I hold it to be of great prudence for men to abstain from threats and insulting words towards any one, for neither the one nor the other in any way diminishes the strength of the enemy; but the one makes him more cautious, and the other increases his hatred of you, and makes him more persevering in his efforts to injure you

- Niccolo Machiavelli
