A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

A veteran is someone's who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of
America for an amount of up to and including their life. That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
