"Agree to disagree-- I prefer to leave as little to chance as I can where it matters." Spoken like a man that has had the lives of an entire country's soldiers, plus the fates of all her citizens, on his shoulders. Of course, that doesn't mean he's never had to rely on a stroke of luck-- just that he doesn't like to. The risks he takes are carefully calculated, and he's pretty damn good at math. "I'd rather have the satisfaction of a strategy playing out exactly the way I planned. And if it doesn't, that's what back-up plans are for."
