Militaries see a lot of value in convincing their members that they'll be remembered after dying.

Some good things have happened because people sacrificed themselves for the greater good.

Do I wish this wasn't necessary? Fucking of course.

But history doesn't repeat itself so much as humans just don't change.

I was thinking of some of the Revolutionary War soldiers, actually and the allies fighting Nazi Germany.

Not really sure where Luigi came from.
