He tries too hard, he seems to be a guy who does things and cultivates interests that keeps him around the guys, the kind of guy who would devote 24 years to combat arms units of the National Guard but then leaves just as his chance for combat finally shows up, as though the previous 24 years was not related to any actual warrior gene.

Heinrich Himmler, head of SS, was similar. He was a puny school teacher who forced himself to exercise, cultivate certain athletic activities in order to appear more manly. Hitler's other helper, Hermann Goering, who headed the Luftwaffe, was a flamboyant dresser and transvestite. Because during World War I he was an ace pilot, he was able to fake a more masculine persona than Himmler. And he was better liked by the German people.

Funny how Harris keeps stressing "joy" as the basis of her campaign. The Nazis had many programs through "joy," as well. Both presented their own versions of masculinity.
