I doubt there are many young people today who have that kind of dedication. I wish I did.
- ryanwaggoner 15y agoPeople rise to the occasion. There isn't much need for that kind of dedication domestically today. As for abroad, most of the thousands killed in various military adventures over the last decade were pretty young. Whether you agree or disagree with the greater view of those adventures, many of those young people gave their lives for what they viewed as something worth dying for. Disclaimer: I served in the US Navy and have many friends and family members who served or are serving in various branches.
