"The sobering reality i’ve come to, Navy vet, is that we’re all subject to history. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Spanish, the English all fell eventually. Decadence and deviance are a part of human nature, and this can only be overcome by force when it overwhelms good. As an American, I realize even we aren’t exempt from this."

Spot on. We all have to die, don't we? Why not for a righteous cause?
