John Minford, #SunTzu 6: 16 "I am concentrated into one; he is divided into ten. I am ten to his one; many against his few."

How, exactly, is he divided into ten? Easy. He places his best men in front, rear, and to the left and right flanks. That's 8. He leaves his weakest men in the center. That's 2. Picture it as 100 men in formation. He has form.

20 in front, 20 in rear, 20 left, 20 right and 20 inside. 100 men. I have 100 men. Where are they? Formless, they are wherever the Earth indicates is his weakest angle. I above, formless, he below, formed. I am able to split off his 10 men on the corner of front and left.

My 100 men are able to attack 10 men and crush them. Now, his front left is wide open. My 100 men can enter his center and wipe out his 20 weakest men. Now he's down to 70, and I still have 100. We turn, together, left or right, no matter, or forward. We're always 100 against 10.

This is the definition of combat strategy, ten to one. Until I have it, I don't have strategy. It's not that tactics are nothing. Hell, tactics are, in one sense, everything. Even at 100 to 10, cowards will lose against the 10. Tactics matter. Strategy matters more.

Slowly, slowly, let us review again. What defines combat strategy? We have five elements. We know them well, but never well enough.

1) The Way
2) Heaven
3) Earth
4) Command
5) Discipline

I face enemies every day. My first question is, what is today's way? If I have the answer, I have twice the force of my opponent. What is Heaven's will? This gives me another 2X against my enemy. So also, with Earth. Now I'm up to 6X my opponent's force.

I am dauntless in command. With The Way, Heaven and Earth aligned, how can I hesitate? My comfortable, righteous command gives me yet again another 2X my enemy's force. I'm up to 8X now. Discipline? You haven't seen discipline until you've met me. I define discipline, personally.

Remember, I am concentrated into one, where my enemy is divided into ten. What is my ultimate discipline? My word. If I say I will, I will. If I'm not going to, I do NOT say I will. More. If I tell you not to, don't. If you do, you'll regret it. It is my mind. I know what I know.

Application?
1. Remember The Forgotten Americans
2. Rule Of Law
3. American Jobs
4. Quality Of Life For Every American
5. Heal Our Cities
6. Build The Wall
7. Make America Wealthy Again
8. Make America Strong Again
9. Make America Safe Again
10. Make America Great Again

Have you ever asked a left leaning liberal if there is such a thing as The Forgotten American? I promise, if you do, you'll have 10X their force in just this one question. It halts them in their tracks, now.

I am often challenged back, weakly, with the question, 'who are the forgotten Americans?' Easy answer. They are the ones the system left behind, when we allowed American greatness to wane, when we allowed a globalist mantra its destructive power. America must protect Americans.

Who is the enemy? Those who weaken America. Here's a single example. Wipe out all tariffs. Tax American production. Allow foreign production free access without taxation. Obviously, foreign production will be cheaper. Who benefits? Not middle America, that's for sure.

What's really happening? America is exporting its power, and how? To the highest bidder for the corrupt powers that have the ability to prosecute the exportation. The "leaders" are corrupt. They forget Americans. @POTUS says, remember the forgotten Americans.

Down the list we may go. In each of the 10 points, we'll discover the force of truth. Truth is, I suspect, just about 10 times more powerful than lies. We have been lied to so long we may not remember the power of truth. @POTUS remembers. He is 10X mightier than our enemies.

More important, believe it or not, YOU are 10X mightier than our enemies. We're a democratic republic. Like everyone else, you get just one vote. But, when your vote is based upon truth, it is 10X more powerful. How so? You will persuade 10 others to vote as you do.

Return to the 10 #MAGA principles listed above. Each will persuade a minimum of 1 opponent. What are their principles? Truth is, zero. Rather, they have platitudes, politically correct beliefs, ideology without practical application. Every one of our principles is 10X mightier.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

That's what truth looks like, and it is 10X more powerful than lies.

With it, we may be concentrated into one; while our enemies are divided into ten.
