#5 Echo all of the above. Ralph can sometimes swing the hammer with the best ever:
"Everyone on our panel had opinions about war, but that no-nonsense Marine knew more about it than the rest of us combined."
And this from a military man on the panel.
Just imagine infinity. That's how much more he knows about war, life, and even love than all of those who are busily vilifying him combined. Spielberg & Co occasionally get the image and the anguish, but they do not now and will always utterly miss the point - the hardcore guts it takes to engage, fight, and follow through to the bloody bitter end. Sucking it up, canning the complaints, and getting the job done using what you have, lamenting and mourning those who fell in the same effort, is so far beyond their ken it approaches infinity.
Let no one criticize this man who has not worn his shoes, borne his burdens, and accomplished what he has - without complaint. Fug'em all. I honor everything about this man. |
