Is Your Hobby Sports or War?

Most people would laugh at that question and then start talking about
the favorite sports team that they love to watch. Many memorize the
statistics about different teams and are fanatic about it.
Some men and women are, in a way, soulless. They have no ideology,
or strong political belief system, beyond sports. As long as they can
watch over-paid mercenary athletes playing some sport, they don’t care
about the immorality or stupidity of investing so much time and money
in the fruitless obsession with something that is meaningless. Yes
sports are meaningless, they will never influence the future of our
families, ourselves, our nation or the preservation of our freedom. They
are simply the bread and circuses of Roman times, brought forward to
divert today’s hyperactive, prescription drugs masses towards
voyeurism. We are taught from the first grade to be sports voyeurs, to
watch “our superiors” play a sport and to care about it. Later such

training causes adults to fork over a lot of money to watch other men play. This author realized the irony of such
behavior as he came up in football, playing high school and college ball, while wondering why so many people
seemed to care one way or another as they got drunk and screamed for their favorite team.
There is another hobby that will fortify a man in good times or bad. It is meaningful, inexpensive and a path towards
self actualization. The study of war gives a man all that and more. War and its bastard son espionage, decides the
future of us all. It is an eternal verity that simultaneously shapes both the past and future. Unlike what the fanatics
whine about peace, war is omnipresent and there is no peace. War (conflict) is eternal, so it behooves us to learn
all we can about it. If we do not, we will someday be victimized by those who study war. Studying war is not so much
becoming an expert with all weapons. A man who is a good pistol and rifle shot as well as being handy with a long
knife or axe is enough. The study of war and espionage should focus upon how it works and how to lead it. The
study of war and espionage by common men is necessary so that governments will realize that their populace is
capable if fighting a people’s war if they have to. If you and I understand how to organize and employ Warfighting
and espionage methods at the three levels of war (tactical, operational and strategic) then we will be respected
more because we will know what is going on. If we don’t like what’s going on, we will be able to gather intelligence on
it and use nonviolent methods to change it. If we have to, we can organize and lead armies and intelligence
agencies, if we study war.
By the way, the study of war for its own sake is much more interesting than sports because they are more realistic
ways to measure success and failure. For example, our enemies can kill our biggest tanks with RPGs that cost
about fifty dollars to produce and each round costs a few dollars. The latest “shoulder-fired” American version of
the same antitank weapon, the Javelin, costs $200,000+ per-unit and $100,000+ per-shot or round. (The Pentagon
is looking at a “cheap” Spike anti-tank weapon that costs a mere $5,000 per unit and $5,000 per round. In the
Pentagon’s frame of reference, each weapon should cost at least one tenth of the target it kills. Never mind that
such thinking is crazy.) If you know such facts from studying war, you will be affected.

| Breaker FRAMED Battlefield Concept |
Forward Reach: Up to 30% of
every combat unit must be
deployed forward in the
reconnaissance and forward
detachment role.
Reconnaissance: Ground force
scouting is the most important
aspect of maneuver which must be
a significant part of every action.
The first battle is the recon battle.
Asymmetry: Wars, campaigns and
battles are fought by the
asymmetrical concentration of force
against weakness. This asymmetry
is brought about by either
organizing the battlefield or
organizing friendly forces. Greater
tempo is achieved by organizing
the battlefield front into economy of
force/pinning, main effort and
deception areas. Forces operating
in those areas are organized and
led according to the battlefield
organization.
Main Effort: The central aspect of
the FRAMED Concept. The main
effort is a unit driving towards an
enemy gap. Once a gap is found all
superior unit assets are massed
opposite it to blast through it. The
main effort is changed according to
changes in enemy deployment.
Economy of Force: Units weak in
manpower, either reinforced by
firepower assets or not, which hold
passive sections of front so that the
majority of friendly force can be
devoted to he main effort.
Deception: Part of every planned
maneuver involves ruses and feints.

You will begin to realize several things:
(1) America’s generals and politicians are making stupid mistakes.
(2) You will then start asking questions. How can they justify wastage? How
are they trained? Are they stupid? Crooked, incompetent, or traitorous?
(3) In answering those questions you will discover that many of the people
in government are both incompetent and traitorous. That includes America’
s top generals and law makers.
(4) When faced with the realization of the truth, you will be better able to
deal with your responsibilities as a citizen and preserver of freedom for
your family and their future.
(5) Eventually you may even choose to quit being a serf and stand up for
what you believe. (There are many irregularities in public elections, which
we could correct if we studied political warfare, for example.)
Most Americans know nothing about the: suitability, orientations, biases
or signs of incompetence and betrayal, found among US generals and
within intelligence agencies. They depend on media “journalists for that.
There are several reasons why media journalists will always misinform the
American public:
(1) They are ideologically biased to the left and everything they will report
will be slanted according to the group of prejudices all leftists share.
(2) They provide information that is shallow and skewed because their
sources are frequently anti-American.
(3) According to content evaluations of the reports of American journalists
on military and espionage affairs, journalists know almost nothing about
how either system works or should work.
(4) They have no frame of reference for evaluating whether any set of
behaviors, military or espionage, is beneficial or harmful to, the interests of
the taxpayers.
The good news is that American citizens no longer have to
depend on journalists, politicians or leftist authors to obtain
distorted information. They can obtain sound, frame-of-reference,
how-to oriented e-book information from Quikmaneuvers.com for
both military and espionage affairs. A frame of reference is a set of
guidelines for evaluating either espionage or military decisions (a
useful set of ideas, conditions, or assumptions that determine how
something should be approached, perceived, or understood). Most
Quikmaneuvers.com’s books are based on an identified frame of
reference that is useful when examining the decisions of people
who are paid by public taxes. The Quikmaneuvers.com’s
innovation, “the Breaker Framed Battlefield Concept”, was derived
from that approach. In order for a person to understand what is
going on and enjoy that understanding, the study of war and
espionage is a much more gratifying and beneficial hobby than
sports. Quikmaneuvers.com exists to service that hobby.
