Sheridan’s Law of Warfare
AMBASSADOR DAVID SHERIDAN: John, I can’t imagine the kind of decisions that are going through your mind right now. I’m sure they’re not easy. The important ones never are. But when push comes to shove, you’ve always done the right thing. What was the first lesson I ever taught you?
CAPTAIN JOHN SHERIDAN: Never start a fight, but always finish it.

Oh, gee. Look what’s happening in Afghanistan because we didn’t finish the fight there.*
