“As the days slowly began to lengthen, meaning decent fighting weather was approaching, tension increased. Inevitably the young men thought of death. Webster wrote his mother, "Stop worrying about me. I joined the parachutists to fight. I intend to fight. If necessary I shall die fighting. But don't worry about this because no war can be won without young men dying. Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice.”

“That officers and men broke under the constant strain, tension, and vulnerability is not remarkable. What is remarkable is that so many did not break.”

“Combat is a topsy-turvy world. Perfect strangers are going to great lengths to kill you; if they succeed, far from being punished for taking life, they will be rewarded, honored, celebrated.”
