Very effective if:
a) You can run faster than the enemy, or at least, one of the other victims
b) The enemy doesn't have a weapon with a longer range than you can cover in the time you have

ha! Not going to let this go. I too wanted to follow the surrender monkey bit. I'm not so sure any more...
War is a very complex business for the politicians and the generals. To those on the line - the lieutenants, the sergeants, and the grunts, it is very simple - kill the enemy before they kill your brothers. It's very simple and very tactical.

As you may know, I am French, so this is self mockery here.
On a serious note, I have never quite understood where that stereotype about presumed French cowardliness comes from, and I have a very high confidence in my army.

I suspect the debacle of May/June 1940 is to blame. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Judging from the Mercury retrograde in his chart, I think he might be in for some mockery[^].

I notice that, even though he's completely convinced that he's right, he still had to lie:
"Ninety per cent of pregnant French women use homeopathy"
That's utter bollocks.
And what has homeopathy got to do with astrology, anyway?
(Except that they've both been proven to be bollocks, of course.)
That's like saying that because aspirin works for headaches, electric cars save money.
Since I caused it, I can break the "Hitler" rule, allowing the thread to be re-opened for comments

I don't know about that; if anything I think a claim that 90% of pregnant French women drank water at some point during their pregnancy is on the low side; and water and homeopathic quackery are identical.

It's a long tradition. Teresa Gormless once said that "there's no such thing as the greenhouse effect". I suspect that each party keeps a few maroons around to distract you from what the party is actually up to.

Hey, be fair.
She did provide categorical proof*.

The answer is of course that the Babylonian stars have as much chance of getting a date.

Lamb and rice it is!

Yum! Wrap it in grape leaves, steam, and serve with a white, lemon dill sauce. Dolmadakia!

A Bullhead City delicacy?

I first had it at a 5* Greek restaurant, but it was made from scratch using rice and ground lamb. But this would be more of the McDolmadakia, for gourmets in a hurry.
