不是国军不努力,是共军太狡猾?you only got yourself to blame.
You are having this border issue for decades, you underestimate your opponent at your own peril. As I said again and again, do you really see your opponent as they are, or you are just thinking out of thin air? Have you forgotten about Sun Tsu's teaching?
