Ear tick,
I have a different take on this. I have found it instructive to study the great wars and battles of history for lessons about the challenges and struggles of life.

If you read the writings of WWII soldiers and leaders you find truths about finding strength and courage when you think you have none. You find lessons about knowing who is in your foxhole, and that you need to watch your buddy’s back, especially when he is down. You learn that you leave no man behind. You learn that you must tend to your weapons and you must take advantage of lulls in the battle because your men need you refreshed. You learn that men can get disoriented in battle and lose track of which direction they are supposed to be pushing. You learn that sometimes the best fighters lose it. Sometimes they don’t get it back.

Many don’t go back home.

You learn that you can defeat an undefeatable foe, but its going to be a costly endeavor.

Agreed, few of us in America have faced the horrors and have earned the valor those men and women did. But we can learn much about battling evil in a world that seems to have a limitless supply of it.

We enjoy the freedoms they secured yet again for us. But in my humble opinion they are offering us much, much more.
