‘Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy, and I will never embarrass my country.’
That was then and this is now, into the fifth year of this sorry administration.
As Edmund Burke said: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” So far there are a lot of good men doing nothing, but I think this is changing. I am hopeful this is the case, but it is too early to tell.
