Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right... is in the one man who commands them.

- Gilbert Chesterton ("Thoughts Around Koepenick")
