Chapter 17

"Cowardice is of two sorts, personal and tactical. A personal coward is someone who will not do something because she fears rape, pain, or death. We despise personal cowardice in ourselves because cowardice makes us weak. We despise personal cowardice in others because when someone else is cowardly, she hurts her sisters.

Rantings about tactical cowardice are the ravings of testosterone-poisoned male minds fixated on medieval ideas of chivalry invented by tin-plated morons. A cowardly tactic is a tactic that works the best way -- it doesn't give the enemy a chance to fight back. That's why biological and chemical weapons are wonderful inventions. The enemy dies, and you are someplace else. The best place to shoot enemy soldiers is in the back, attacking from the direction they are not looking. Shooting them in the back while they are running away is even better. They aren’t under cover. Little boys are taught: Don't kick an opponent while he's down. That’s the tin-plate moron wrong answer. MinuteGirls are taught the right answer: Knock him down from behind. Then kick his skull in."
