Clausewitz: On Poker

While researching this evening for a history paper I have to write about the great military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, I ran across this interesting gem.  In it, the author compares Clausewitz's seminal philosophical work, On War, to the game of poker -- and even suggests that the military should adopt poker into its training regimen as fervently as it does physical training.

Need I mention this was written by a Marine?  At least he does quote the late Colonel David Hackworth, one of my personal heroes.
