    Well, there is a way to get out of it, and any future assignments.

    That’s Victor’s problem, not mine.

    The battle’s not over until all the paperwork is done.

    History is written by the victors and edited by the politicians.

    We shall write on the beaches, we shall write on the landing grounds, we shall write in the fields and in the streets, we shall write in the hills; we shall never surrender.

    I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and writer’s cramp.

    Going to be hard to be victorious when you only have one sword between a thousand soldiers.

    No, it’s written by someone who wasn’t in the battle, but heard about it second hand. Foot soldiers have seldom had the opportunity to write about their experience. But it’s true that the winning side gets to tell their version of history.

    This made me laugh out loud; I shared it with my team members who are all tech writers (and are trying to catch up this month). :D

    A knight on a horse is traveling north towards the castle at 18 miles an hour. An archer on the ramparts shoots an arrow toward the knight at 150 miles per hour. If the men are 5000 paces apart, how long does it take for the arrow to strike the knight?

    After you get it written, put it in the chain mail.

    Not strictly speaking true. Defeats or disasters have this way of becoming touchstones, like Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Kosovo, and The Alamo. And for every “Yankee” who’s a snake-bit Civil War buff—they exist—there are scores of denizens of the Confederate states who eat, breathe, and sleep the “Lost Cause”. (A family friend who who grew up in Kentucky claims that she discovered that the Confederacy had actually lost the civil war only when she went to college. I suspect she was kidding, or anyhow exaggerating, as she was a very bright lady with a lively sense of humor.)

    It might be written by the winners in the moment but the truth prevails eventually.
