"To win the war."

The better question should be: "What is worth fighting for."

I had to look real hard to see you was a white fella. You should drop that bat motif, palm it off to some darkie superhero, like David Zavimbe, Bruce Stinson, or dat Dennis Samuel Ellis feller.

If there is any "reason" I still fight... it is not for Hope Love or Freedom... Those have already been lost to me. Even should I survive and eventually thrive in wealth and happiness the scars on my soul will likely never heal.
