I don’t get it. I’ll assume it was probably an insult and accept it. I probably deserved it.

You earlier made an allusion to this other kind of “feat” in another post.

’ Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, but he’ll remember, with advantages, what feats he did that day. Then shall our names, familiar in his mouth as household words- Harry the King Salisbury and Exeter, Erpingham, Westmoreland, and York- be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.

—— “Henry V Agincourt Speech”

And on this Veteran’s Day, thank you for your service to our country. Have seen your Vietnam references earlier.

OH CRAP!
That just reminded me... I forgot St Crispin’s Day this year!!!

Years ago I read a bit of it to inspire my crew.
“The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.”

As usual, we were running short-handed.
