From driftglass:
In Bridge on the River Kwai, Colonel Saito never understood Colonel Nicholson…
You are defeated, but you have no shame.
You are stubborn, but have no pride.
You endure, but you have no courage.
,,,but Nicholson understood Saito perfectly.
Saito was a not-very-bright middle-manager — a Reince Preibus — whose only tools are the blunt instruments of the inept martinet.
