Three hundred Greek warriors changed the course of history. Known as “the 300,” they dared to face the mighty Persian army in 480 B.C. Although vastly outnumbered, these warriors surprised the Persians with tenacity and courage at the battle of Thermopylae. Technically, they lost the battle (and they all lost their lives), but their efforts inspired the ultimate victory, achieved at the battle of Salamis.
I’m reading about the French and Indian war. The British refused to change their tactics and instisted on using the European style of combat. That style did not work in the American wilderness.
Are we going to change and change history? The definition of insanity is wanting change without changing.
