    According to Taoist martial arts and Sun Tzu's _Art of War_,
strategy is the very opposite of European conceptualizations of
"chivalry."
    A gentleman/knight "fought to demonstrate his aristocratic
superiority - his prowess, virtue, or manner - the strategist
fought to win. The knight never took advantage, while the strat-
egist took every advantage he could" (Rick Fields, _The Code of
the Warrior: in History, Myth, and Everyday Life_, 1991,
ISBN 0-06-096605-X, pbk. edition).

    "And above all, dedicated to Force, they are triumphant
victims of the internal logic of Force, which proves itself only
by surpassing boundaries - even its own boundaries and those
of its _raison d'etre_." - Georges Dumezil, _The Destiny of the
Warrior_

 Only boring people get bored.
