if the current generation in that age bracket were faced with the same situation, what do you think the response would be?
personally, i don't believe we have the same moral clarity or will to wage war on the same scale. there are definitely those among us who would be up to the task, but i think our society as a whole is weaker in that respect.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
