For the most part the ivory tower sentiments do not arise from anybody who has every set foot as a soldier or foreign agent abroad.

I realize that. It is the great weakness in my argument-- the fact that I'm all talk. I'm stating an ideal that I can only hope I would be able to aspire to if the times demanded it.
But then again, "all men are created equal" was an unattainable ideal, too.
