When the soldiers stand leaning on their spears, they are faint from want of food If those who are sent to draw water begin by drinking themselves, the army is suffering from thirst

This refers to the enemy army, not their own – at least from my reading, these paragraphs are about observing signs about enemy plans and capabilities.

Bring war material with you from home, but forage on the enemy. Thus the army will have food enough for its needs

I mean, OK? My point was that the book is a strategic guide and not just obvious stuff noblemen don't know. But there is also plenty of other stuff in there, and as I said earlier, logistics are probably the most important aspect of modern conflict.

Looks like I was a little too hyperbolic in my summary. Doesn't help, if two non-native speakers try to communicate in such a way. :D

Yes you are right. There is a good reason, why the booklet is widely known. No, I don't think logistics is easy.

I'm just having a chuckle about the use of "Sun Tzu level" in the post, where it is used as a metaphor for being smarter than everyone else. While the book referenced is a dated beginner-level introduction to the subject of military strategy.
