15,000 maniacs, or even one fanatic as history has proven, can be the catalyst for disaster!
Granted, 15,000 (divisional size), can wreak one helluva lot of havoc. Just look what the 82nd and 101st Airborne has been able to accomplish in the last six decades!!
"But then, lets look at the odious, or even the beneficent power of one!?"
First there was Cain, then Sampson, then Moses, then a Guy by the name of Jesus! And let us never forget John W. Booth, the anarchist (Gavrilo Princip) that plugged Archduke Francis Ferdinand, thereby helped to start WWI, the malcontents that murdered the Kennedys and King, and of course, Hussein and bin Laden, two more world-class nut-cases!
Some good, some bad and some in-between - "The Power Of One" dedicated or totally insane individual, can be a force to be reckoned with!
Hell, even the modern Army has swung away from "Patton's Disdain For Individuality", and now touts "An ARMY ONE" as a logo! For the record, and in my opinion, no one individual has ever comprised an entire army, unless of course, your name is Goliath, Hercules or Kofi Annon! (LOL)
Like I said before, good, bad or indifferent, one determined individual can even change history! We can only hope that these solo acts conduct themselves in a constructive fashion. One that benefits out people, each and every one, in one positive way or another!
"And again, and considering their mindset, even one terrorist, is one too many!!"
