If you’re unfamiliar with Sun Tzu, he was a legendary 6th century Chinese general and philosopher. He is revered as one of the greatest military strategists and thinkers and is credited with writing “The Art of War” – which used to be required reading for leadership in the US military. Used to be. Nowadays, our swamp generals seem to be reading books like “White Fragility” and painting their toenails, rather than actually studying warfare.
Thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s catastrophic bungling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, fake Sun Tzu quote memes like this one have been flooding the web. The memes usually highlight one or more disastrous, mind-boggling mistakes committed by Biden/Harris, the intelligence community, or our woke generals.
This one popped up on the day after The Washington Post tried to cover for Biden/Harris by claiming that Taliban won’t be able to use the Blackhawk helicopters that were left behind, so no worries! Then the Taliban immediately released video of them toodling around in a Blackhawk helicopter.
Quotes from the real Sun Tzu actually do contain some timeless military/strategy advice. The quotes on these fake memes teach exactly how to do everything wrong – much like Joe Biden is doing.
