Well, I don't think it's in the nature of too many people to glorify cowards, that's for sure. The American military is NOT the same as other military organizations. I grew up around it, and many people I know have served.

Back on topic: Anyone ever do any reading on Napoleon? He's another of my favorites...

Anyone a fan of the Ken Burns Civil War documentary? The one that's like 12 hours long? Total masterpiece. The only thing he ever did that worth a damn, IMO.

That is a great documentary. His baseball documentary is almost as good.
