... must read bump... where do they get these men?
I ask myself this all the time.
I have been reading military history since I was 13 years old. In every culture in every time, there are men (not all)who comprehend honor, duty, sacrifice, courage... In America, we are fortunate because we don't send young men to service with just their courage. They have lots of, and the best equipment, training and leadership. With all this, and once they gain experience, the are a match for... and in reality, better than most anywhere. But even when, as the article demonstrates, they run out of everything else...even with lost or wounded leaders, they continue... on their courage alone.
Great great men, great soldiers. "If you want good soldiers, you make good citizens." They are the best and more than some 'Americans' at home have done anything to deserve. (List of names available)
