As I was channel surfing for background noise this morning, I heard the name von Clausewitz delivered in a bad Russian accent. Carl von Clausewitz was a famous Prussian philosopher of war, especially the morality of war. The bad Russian accent came from an actor voicing a minor character on G.I. Joe Renegades, a Saturday morning take on the A-Team.
I'm sure dozens of reasons exist to dislike G.I. Joe Renegades, but I certainly appreciate name-dropping a philosopher and an allusion to a principle that if one hates too much, one becomes what one hates. I hope some of the young'uns will check out the Wikipedia entry. For this morning anyway, Go Joe!
