"Duty...Honor...Country" Proud values espoused by the military and shared at last night's Memorial Day concert at Sun City. Stuff that generals and admirals talk about. I wonder though. It seems to me that those who bear the battle's strain are more motivated to fight for and take care of one another. The unit or as we say, the band of brothers, is what motivates in dangerous times. Even as a Coastie on the high seas, I thought of my ship, my shipmates, as family. Those lofty values sound good but when times were tough we were there for each other.
Those days are gone. Now generals and admirals talk about diversity, gayness, and drag shows.
Unfortunately true
