The scraggly militia usually go down before the regulars in any campaign. The regular is not even better, man for man, than the militia. The regulars know how to operate as a team. They have confidence in one another. And even when numerically inferior they bring off victory over a rabble by co-operation and discipline amongst themselves.

Note: Man's organizations never recognized the need for statistics and the recognition of Emergency or its signs. Therefore, for instance, a government bureau, in a Condition of Emergency, is given the right to buy anything it wants (thus breaking the government, as Emergency type people always have to have before they can do) and is given the solution of putting in personnel and more personnel "to get the work done" when actually it was Dev-T of those already there that brought about their Emergency. Thus one realizes one must never pour in more and more personnel when a statistic goes down. One must change the situation, not multiply the numbers of those involved. It tells us at once that Man is, therefore, least efficient in his biggest bureaus! And that his least efficient organization must be his largest organization — you have it — the government. An organization should only increase in size as things get better and never when things get worse.
