In the long history of European military practice, it is almost a truism that the chief military worry of a Western army for the past 2500 years was another Western army.

In fact primitive tactics are superior...
— War before Civilization., by Lawrence H. Keeley
Visser One, originator of the Yeerk invasion of Earth, favored a slow infiltration of Earth, a quiet, stealthy assault.
But Visser Three, a jumped-up egomaniac, has pushed for all-out conquest from the beginning. His dearest dream is to annihilate human power centers in an Independence Day-style war. To drive large numbers of humans into infestation camps. To do it quickly and publicly.
If he gets his way, the Animorphs won't matter. Everything will be lost. Millions will die. Human culture will be pulverized.
—Animorphs #45: The Revelation
