Actually my recounting this event was to emphasize a quality in the men, that of brotherhood. Much of the horror of war is that the common soldier must fulfill his obligation to duty, even unto the tragedy of mortal combat.
The hypocrisy is given to those who perpetuate war, not to those who by duty, must carry it out. There is a distinct difference, and my reference was to honor those who serve.
All best wishes again to all for a wonderful new year!!!
As always,
