You are either correct or employing wishful thinking. I for one am torn as to what the reality really is.

Certainly there are some, the question is: Are there enough within the not so brave youth that will be called upon?

I believe it is more in the knowledge there are a LOT of people the fly over media and coastal elites never see and do not know about.

Those are the ones who always seem to show up when the country needs them.

I suspect that’s the age old question...Asked no doubt by a lot of Greeks when the Persians parked just north of Thermopylae...And then, Leonidas and his Spartans showed up and gave ‘em what for...

The answer today may best be found in reading the MOH, Navy Cross, and Silver Star citations of our young warriors earned in places like Iraq and Afghanistan...

Nothing’s changed...They still walk among us...And as always, the question remains are their enough?
