I know they didn’t think it was Holy. I was talking about the act, the act of sacrificing yourself for others. The British, Canadian and American soldiers believed they were doing this for their families, their countrymen and their country. If they had only been thinking of themselves, a few years in a jail cell for refusing orders would probably have been safer.
They were acting in a manner exactly as Jesus did for us.
I tend to think more pragmatically. I think most of them would have traded their spots on the Higgins boats for a jail cell at the moment.
