Subject: Cowardice in Battle

Everybody has cute sayings. For example, there's one that goes more or
less that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it, and those who
are intellectually uninquisitive are prime candidates to be exposed to
history's unhappy lessons over and over again. IOW, if you don't care,
it's at your own peril. You'll keep on getting your ass kicked until you
learn not to bend over when the kicker's around.


Memories force you to care. There isn't a single day day in 60 years that
I haven't thought about the war. Maybe for just an instant, a flash of
memory that keeps repeating. But the memories are always there And will
never go away. Those who have no memories weren't there.


Appears to me that someone totally there then, is not totally here now.

Extremely sad.
