I must confess, for a moment there I thought he was a slice of ham...  Was his tactic stealth? obvious aggression? defensive? Was it a country against another? A civil war? revolutionary activity? Was the "it" a certain object? eg Trojan horse etc? Or was it a certain tactic? Anything to do with tying the army to giant kites? | ||
