No, Nkosi. There's only one way
to fight, tried and tested.

And what if it did happen?
178
00:16:29,294 --> 00:16:32,352
It may change the course
of the battle. Not so?
179
00:16:32,857 --> 00:16:33,698
Most likely.
180
00:16:33,698 --> 00:16:36,995
In other words, fighting
differently might
181
00:16:36,995 --> 00:16:39,305
possibly help win a war?
182
00:16:40,313 --> 00:16:42,364
Without a doubt, Wena Wohlanga.
183
00:16:42,691 --> 00:16:43,756
