Charles Mohrle....a fighter pilot who survived WWII gives a dissertation on what he went through during WWII in Europe.  Probably one of the more tell tale presentations that I have seen and heard.  Going through the film he points to the people who were pilots that gave the ultimate sacrifice. 

In retrospect...it makes me sick to think of how our country (and people) have evolved....what Americans did back then so that we can live a life of freedom....I can't think that today's generations activities would make men and women like Charles role in their grave with disappointment.

Extremely good video...Charles has since died by what he shares in this video is a profound sense of accomplishment that men of that time provided.

British students at the 'King and Country' debate in 1933. In 1933 the Oxford Union, the university undergraduate debating society, passed a famous motion that "This House would not in any circumstances fight for King and Country" - until, of course, the actual war came when they did.
