Well I only wanted to "Edit" my reply above Adm.Naismiths reply, but by sheer mistake, I managed to click the "Reply with quote" button instead. I didnt noticed my mistake until after I clicked the "Submit reply" button.

Mystery solved!

It seems to be that if you can cut your enemy's head off, there's no need to change his mind since you have wiped his battleground clean. But I digress

Please consider that quote is not mine: it come from a Lois Mc Master Bujold book where the main character is Miles Naismith, the smart, phisically handicapped admiral I use as a nick name. I added it to my signature to better fit the role.
Anyway we are speaking about commanders, and commanders are usually far enough from battleground to take low risk about having his/her head cutted off... at least not until they come back from a lost battle to their emperor
