“A game of extremes, two men repelling massive forces in the sands of North Africa, a commando squad wreaking havoc on the mighty army of Siam contrasted with horrendous lapses of execution in the Middle East and Ukraine. An uncertain game at the best of times. Take heart, runners-up, 'what, though the field be lost? All is not lost; the unconquerable will and hate, immortal hate, still remain!' I have been in your position before, but remember: 'I never lost Japan! Bushido lives on!'”
