There is glory in war -- in consists of someone putting his or her own life between carnage and those they love. It does NOT consist in the blind obedience to orders, in killing another, in charging across an open field in the face of the machine guns.

It's the same glory of a single mom dragging herself to work day after day so that her kids will have some food or a father rescuing his family from a burning house.

The heroes of any war aren't the generals and the REMFs. The heroes are the grunts who do what has to be done and then go home and get on with their lives as best they can.
