Not sporting, you know

"My habit of attacking Huns dangling from their parachutes led to many arguments in the mess. Some officers, of the Eton and Sandhurst type, thought it was 'unsportsmanlike' to do it. Never having been to a public school, I was unhampered by such considerations of form. I just pointed out that there was a bloody war on, and that I intended to avenge my pals." -- James Ira Thomas "Taffy" Jones, who in three months shot down 37 German aircraft.

Success in war requires a ruthlessness most people neither possess nor understand.
