5 своя рубашка ближе к телу
посл.cf. charity begins at home; close is the shirt but closer is the skin; self comes first- Взаимодействие армии и крепости в том и заключается, чтобы заставить противника дробить свои силы между ними. - Академическое рассуждение, Роман Исидорович. Своя рубашка ближе к телу. Пусть Куропаткин сам о себе заботится. (А. Степанов, Порт-Артур) — 'The purpose of combined operations between the army and the fortress is to compel the enemy to split up his forces.' 'That's a purely academic argument, Roman Isidorovich. Charity begins at home. We must protect ourselves and leave Kuropatkin to take care of himself.'
