Story Post: Don’t Advance Recklessly Knowing Enemies Nearby Earnestly Defend

Adminned at 16 Jul 2025 17:53:18 UTC

It was a simplistic saying in the military, told from every Commander to their Lieutenants, but it held a purpose. No one wanted a repeat of the incident where a young upstart led his regiment in a charge up a hill, completely overconfident of overwhelming the enemy forces dug in on the other side. There was barely anyone alive who fought on the attacking side that day.

Score 2 for being overcomplicated and not very grammatical, I couldn’t repeat it back to you after reading it once.

Score 4 for having a plain meaning and being good advice, even if I suspect a few words would get cut in the telling.
