Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh?

From "The Art of War," translated by Samuel Griffith, Oxford University Press, 1963:

"3. Victory is the main object in War. If this is long delayed, weapons are blunted and morale depressed. When troops attack cities, their strength will be exhausted.

4. When the Army engages in protracted campaigns, the resources of the state will not suffice."

--Chapter II, "Waging War"
