In World War II, Winston Churchill made his now famous statement: "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies." While Churchill’s remark perhaps refers more to deception and subterfuge, it does, at the very least, imply that truth is such a precious commodity that it should be zealously guarded lest it fall into the wrong hands.
That should be interesting. In Desert Storm the Marines fixed part of the Iraqi army to the East. The feints of 1st Cav fixed part of the Iraqi Army to the South. Then we went in a large Western movement to conduct our massive flanking of the Iraqi army.
