The verison I own is a barns and noble classic and if you need something for strategy,try this book out.

Not my favourite but it is quite a good book but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart or those that do not usually read this type of literature.

Did you read it?

NO,I didn't copy this from a review cause I've read it.This is the only strategy I've read because I believe that the best way to find out new tactics is to go through ancient rulers such as Hannibal,Caeser,Alexander etc. and find out what they did in battle.Good battle examples are Trepia,the siege of Samrakand,Hydaspes River,And Teutonic forest.Don't try to presuade me that my methods are wrong.

It is because you back talk me on everything!I know patience,but you are messing with it

That is because you strain my patience.

Don't ever call me boy cause unlike you,I'm going to the marines.

Good cause I'm gonna love it and I'm gonna drive until you stop.Boy

And you don't call your drill instructor by that term.

As I've said,this could have been avoided if you just minded youir own business.We'll see who has the last laugh.
