In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
Shakespeare, “Henry V” (5.3.44-51)
I thought of a [...]

I loved this short, but true, story:
A teenager learned it is not a good idea to try to rob a former U.S. Marine at knifepoint, no matter how old he is.

When I was growing up, my father always told a story about a weapons training class he had in the Israel Army (this was during the War of Independence). An explosives expert led the impromptu class, made up of men and women soldiers, all grouped around the teacher in the hot Mediterranean sun. The teacher [...]

I heard it from the Paragraph Farmer, who heard it from the PalmTree Pundit, who read this incredibly story of sacrifice, nobility and generosity at CDR Salamander.
