On another thread in which part of the topic was Shakespeare, I made the comment, "These were the days when national leaders (e.g., Richard III, Henry V, etc.) were expected to put on their armor, take up their swords, and lead their troops into battle. Is there any way we can revive that system?"

If you really think that a particurlar war is a good idea, are you willing to pick up a rifle and go? If not, then. . . ?
