Air-Force.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory.

The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle - you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?
