I don’t know all the facts, but that has not stopped the
media from reporting what they think happened.
About what? Something that
President Trump may or may not have said.
He knew what he signed up for.
This evidently got people up in arms. That’s a poor metaphor considering the topic
of that sentence was a young man under arms—a serviceman deployed to hostile
territory—and the people raising a ruckus had never been near a shot fired in
anger.
Here is my thought.
Whether the president said it or not, it is a good thing to say. It should be accompanied by a follow-on
statement.
He knew what he signed up for, and
He went anyway!
That’s just courage.
It is common among those whom I served with. I think it is still ubiquitous among today’s
service men and women.
Over 72 years ago, American Admiral Chester Nimitz reflected
on the incredible sacrifice of the Marines who fought at Iwo Jima by saying,
“Uncommon valor was a common virtue.”
Valor is still present among today’s fighting men and
women. They knew what they signed up for
and they went anyway. And they went
anyway!
Semper Fidelis
Bravo Zulu
Well done!
