Don't know if your a Lord of the Rings fan...in the new movie Eowyn (female character) has a line that was very good. I wish I could remember it all, the film moves so fast. Anyway, her father tells her she can't go off to fight the enemy and she laments not being able to go off to the valor of combat against the enemy.
I agree with you that the time is coming, and hope I won't be too old to go off and fight the enemy.
Can't imagine that happening though. :-)

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the last episode, she had a speech that was inspiring. It was similar to the Henry the Fifth, Feast of Saint Crispin Speech.
I am getting a little tired of the lame weapons they use. Where's the belt fed shooting wooden bullets?

I am a big LOTR fan actually. And I agree that we will not die of old age before our national ordeal begins.
Or as one old VN vet said on FR:
"At least this time we won't have to go 6,000 miles to the war. We'll be able to walk there."
