Quantity or quality in regards to the military? well thats still a bit vague. If I had the choice of 1000 well trained troops or 10 000 badly trained troops, gimme the 1000 any day. But if we're talking 1000 versus 1 000 000, hmmm...

Still, in general I'd still go for quality. In the Battle of Mirbat in the Oman, a British SAS squad of 8 men defeated 300 rebels, killing more than 70, for the loss of two men.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
