Line 49:
* [[The General|Raj Whitehall's]] life's ambition is to win a war without actually fighting a battle.
* For [[The Lost Fleet|'Black Jack' Geary]] the best outcome would be to exit Syndic space without ever confronting the armed forces of same - his subordinates feel very differently.
* In the James Blish story "Beep!", later expanded as ''The Quincunx of Time'', the Service is mentioned as defeating a massive invasion force this way. Despite all the invaders' fanatical secrecy while preparing, the Service knew exactly when and where they'd attack, so the enemy fleet found itself too outnumbered and out-positioned to even try fighting. "...[[Invincible Hero|the Service always wins]]—that's been a statistical fact for centuries."
