He lay for a couple hours silent, readjusting his mind to meet the new conditions.

Then he commenced talking with cheerfulness about returning to his family.

The habit of courage had conquered the habit of courage, which grows out of the knowledge that you let your pals down by showing cowardice.

Men that have had major disfigurements to their faces. And they're, they would wrap their whole faces up.

Back to the book. In these days that followed I saw several of these masked men.

The ones I saw were invariably dressed with the most scrupulous care in the smartest uniforms. Sam Brown's, that's the belt that goes over your shoulder, polished buttons. Shining. They had hope.

And took a pride in themselves, a splendid sign. Perhaps you ask why the faces kept, the face cases should be kept in France. So they, the guys that had major facial disfigurement, they would stay in France.

I was not told, but I can guess, because they dread going back to England to their girls until they had got rid of their disfigurements. So for two years, through their bandages, they watched the train pull out for Blighty.

At a base hospital, you see something which you don't see at casualty stations. Sisters, mothers, sweethearts, and wives sitting beside the beds. They're allowed to come over from England when their man is dying.

One of the wonderful things to me was to observe how these women in the hour of their tragedy catch this soldier spirit. They're very quiet, very cheerful, very helpful.

These women who have been sent to see their men die, catch from them the spirit of undistressed sacrifice and enroll themselves as soldiers.

Having some mental issues. All night in the shadowy ward with its hooded lamps, he would be giving orders for the comfort of his men. Sometimes he'd be proposing to go forward himself to a place where a company was having a hot time.

Apparently one of his officers was trying to dissuade him. Danger be damned, he'd exclaim in a wonderfully strong voice. It'll buck him up to see me. Splendid chaps. Splendid chaps.

Nevertheless, there's many a man who has no love of war, who previous to the war had cramped his soul with littleness and was chased by the bayonet of duty into the bloodstained largeness of the trenches, who has learned to say, thank God for this war.

The man who is afraid in the attack isn't thinking of his pals, of his pals, and how quickly terror spreads. He isn't thinking of the glory which will accrue to his regiment or division if the attack is a success. He isn't thinking of what he can do to contribute to that success.

You know, I asked him, I said, hey, if, if, have you ever known anybody that survived cancer? And he said yes, and I'm like, yeaah. And when they survive it, a lot of them say, it, it opened my mind, it freed me from being afraid, and it did all these wonderful things, and I'm not, I would never wish it on anybody, bu...

They don't, they don't wish that it didn't happen either. They learn so much from it and that's how I feel about war and that's kind of what I read in a lot of this.

Is Dawson saying, look, you are so changed by this and regardless of the horrors, the change is positive. And it opens your eyes in a way that nothing else can.

So he's saying like, okay, a lot of guys, they're like, hey, you know what, I'm kind of scared. I don't, I just want to, you know, just give me a, give me an easy job. Just, you know, I don't want to get killed.

Back to the book, he doesn't stop there long. If he's a decent sort. Having learned more than he ever guessed before about the brutal things that shellfire can do to you, he transfers into a fighting unit. Why?

Because danger doesn't appall, it allures. It holds a challenge. It stings one's pride. It urges one to seek out ascending scales of risk just to prove to himself he isn't flabby.

And flabby is actually another word that I looked up as an old, uh, kind of capture what the real meaning is. And, and there's the definition. Another definition is lacking strength or determination.

The safe job is the only job for which there's no competition in fighting units. You have to persuade men to be grooms or cooks or batmen.

And again, this is something I saw with my own two eyes and I talked about this in my retirement speech in Ramadi, where I was like, okay, we need volunteers who wants to go over and live in this hellhole in Eastern Ramadi and go out on operations where we're going to be taking casualties. It's going to be a nightmare...

Blood, sweat, and tears. If you want to go on that, if you want to go there, not for one operation, but I'm going to put you there for six months. So, you know, if you want that, put your name on the board. Every single guy does it. Every single guy does it.

As a matter of fact, I hooked up with this trooper down in New Zealand, Jujitsu player, and, uh, we were talking, he was in the, he was in the, uhm, in the commandos, in the Royal Marine commandos, 40 commando, and

He said, I'm not going to be a cook, you know, I'm a warrior. I want to go and get after it. So it's like, you see that in this modern day, you know, I'm talking about how different it was back then, but maybe it was as different as I think it is.

Cause we still got troopers that are just willing to step up all the time. And that's, that's one thing that's awesome. You know, again, from my experience in the, in the, in the SEAL teams.

You know, when I went in, there was no war going on. I kind of thought that there was, but there wasn't. But these guys, these kids that come in now, they know where they're going. They know there's a war going on. They know they're going to get after it. And they're...

No offense to, uh, Daryl Cooper and Margaret May because he's a big philosophy guy. I know, I know where you're at, Cooper.
