"I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow." - Woodrow Wilson
No, this isn't an open invitation to talk about my intelligence or lack of it. This is me talking about all the people that help me. I know there was some Slayer handbook that says I'm supposed to do this alone. Which by the way I never got, just saying. Anyway, I couldn't do this alone. I needed Angel, Willow, Xander, Giles, Riley, Spike, Dawn, Tara, even Anya and Andrew to help me fight my battles.
Sure, I'm the one that slays, but if I didn't have them helping me I wouldn't have been able to defeat all the ones that I did. There hasn't been an apocalypse bringing, big bad that I defeated on my own. Everyone brought something unique to the group. I am so much stronger with them. That's why it hurt so much when they kicked me out.

The truth is, like Willow says I'm the General. I'm the one that has to make the hard decisions and figure out what to do. It's all on my shoulders. That doesn't mean that I don't rely on everyone to get to those decisions. I do. It just means the buck stops with me. See, I paid attention in history class.
