“Joanna had finally identified the terrorist who had kidnapped her son.”
Michael Parker, The Eagle's Covenant

Sebastian Junger
“The Army might screw you and your girlfriend might dump you and the enemy might kill you, but the shared commitment to safeguard one another’s lives is unnegotiable and only deepens with time. The willingness to die for another person is a form of love that even religions fail to inspire, and the experience of it changes a person profoundly.”
Sebastian Junger, War
