Crisis exposes the soul of the state. Thucydides noted ‘The strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must.’ But also: ‘Of all manifestations of power, restraint impresses men most’ ⚖️. Real strength is the wisdom to hold back. History remembers unmeasured might. 🕊️.

A call to arms! . Last year the 'Professional Military Moustaches' team raised over $10,000 for @MovemberAUS and took out first place in the Defence Force fundraiser division. This year we need YOU! Membership is open to all military folk (mobros and sisters in arms) who want.
