Quote #10
Gyodan had told him, "War is art: strategy, sword-work, archery." But to Gyaar, it was grass churned to mud, the mud red. It was Father's men bowed, all the same, knee and fist to the ground, heads bent. War was Father, in his blood-colored armor, running up the avenue they made. (10.28)
Gyodan thinks war is much more artful than Gyaar, which makes it easier for him to rush into battle. But all that strategy can only get you so far—in fact, Gyodan dies very quickly in the war. Perhaps his advice isn't worth taking then and Gyaar's understanding of war is more accurate.
