Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

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



I divide my officers into four classes:
the clever
the lazy
the industrious
and the stupid.
Each officer posses at least two of these qualities.

Those who are clever & industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments.

Use can be made of those who are stupid & lazy.

The man who is clever & lazy however, is for the very highest command; he has the temperment & the nerves to deal with all situations.

Whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediatly.

- Gen-Baron von Hammersteiner, Equord C-C, Reichswehr
