“Some men are born warriors. Their spirit and their character are forged for the fight... Others pick up arms because they see no other solution. They wield their swords to protect those they love, spurred by their sense of purpose and idealism but taking no pleasure in it. When the threat is defeated, they return to their homes, shed their uniforms, and return to their lives... Together, they formed the yin and yang of my platoon: the born soldier and the born citizen soldier.”
