Wow! an outstanding quote at the end.
military folk “don’t fight because they hate what’s in front of them, they fight because they love what’s behind them.”
Just damn. What a line.
It's from GK Chesterton...
""The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
...Perhaps one of the most under-rated minds of the early 20th Century....Rush occasionally quotes him, and CS Lewis largely attributed his embrace of Christianity to Chesterton's Everlasting Man. Well worth reading if you're not familiar with him.
