[Ads-l] "The enemy has a vote."

[Jonathan Lighter]

I began noticing this a few years back.  Currently frequent.

1994 Todd J. Ebel _Without Coup d'Oeil_ (Ft. Leavenworth, Kans.: U.S. Army
Command and General Staff College) 26: Of course, combat power is relative,
because the enemy always has a vote.

2008 _National Review_ (May 5) 68: We don't always get to fight the war we
prefer. The enemy always has a vote.
