Thanks for watching, Sam. IтАЩm fascinated by the militaryтАжeven though IтАЩm no fan of war. But the fraternity and brotherhood, IтАЩm a big fan of. As for the older gents, I believe they are the administrators and educators at the school, likely military officers. As for Baron von Stueben, no need to be embarrassed you didnтАЩt know the quote. My guess is because of his un-American origin and sexuality, heтАЩs been conveniently left out of most modern military stories. But I remember himтАжif not the quote. That I just found and fell in love with. Cheers!
These got my attention, and not a square inch of skin below the face! Who are the older
men shown? Are they the officers in photographs preceding, thirty years later? I guess
these officers served their careers in a peace-time Army which was mobilized only for
the Mexican War and the suppression of the Native American rebellion?
In all my military education, I did not see the quotation of Baron von Steuben. That is a bit
embarrassing to admit. I agree with him, and although the definition of, love, is open to
interpretation, a leader earns the respect of the enlisted by showing them respect in
numerous ways. Discipline is not punishment, and treating one's subordinates as humans
is not weakness.
