Courage And Comradeship

Victor 3 Company, a new Zealand Infantry unit, fought in South Vietnam as part of a joint Australian/New Zaeland battalion, 4 RAR/NZ (ANZAC) Battalion. This unit saw active service in Vietnam from May 1968 until May 1969, which was a period when the US military were losing more than 500 men killed in action each week. Victor 3 Company's clashes with the enemy in the jungles of Vietnam were invariably fierce firefights fought at very close range. Nevetherless, these young New Zealand soldiers acquitted themselves particularly well, demonstrating high standars of courage and comradeship, earning Victor 3 Company the distinction of being one of the highest decorayed New Zealand units in the Vietnam War.

When people say “comrade,” they change the world In the twentieth century, millions of people across the globe addressed each other as “comrade.” Now, among the left, it’s more common to hear talk of “allies.” In Comrade, Jodi Dean insists that this shift exemplifies the key problem with the contemporary left: the substitution of political identity for a relationship of political belonging that must be built, sustained, and defended. Dean offers a theory of the comrade. Comrades are equals on the same side of a political struggle. Voluntarily coming together in the struggle for justice, their relationship is characterized by discipline, joy, courage, and enthusiasm. Considering the egalitarianism of the comrade in light of differences of race and gender, Dean draws from an array of historical and literary examples such as Harry Haywood, C.L.R. James, Alexandra Kollontai, and Doris Lessing. She argues that if we are to be a left at all, we have to be comrades.

Few of us spend much time thinking about courage, but we know it when we see it--or do we? Is it best displayed by marching into danger, making the charge, or by resisting, enduring without complaint? Is it physical or moral, or both? Is it fearless, or does it involve subduing fear? Abner Small, a Civil War soldier, was puzzled by what he called the "mystery of bravery"; to him, courage and cowardice seemed strangely divorced from character and will. It is this mystery, just as puzzling in our day, that William Ian Miller unravels in this engrossing meditation. Miller culls sources as varied as soldiers' memoirs, heroic and romantic literature, and philosophical discussions to get to the heart of courage--and to expose its role in generating the central anxieties of masculinity and manhood. He probes the link between courage and fear, and explores the connection between bravery and seemingly related states: rashness, stubbornness, madness, cruelty, fury; pride and fear of disgrace; and the authority and experience that minimize fear. By turns witty and moving, inquisitive and critical, his inquiry takes us from ancient Greece to medieval Europe, to the American Civil War, to the Great War and Vietnam, with sidetrips to the schoolyard, the bedroom, and the restaurant. Whether consulting Aristotle or private soldiers, Miller elicits consistently compelling insights into a condition as endlessly interesting as it is elusive.

"The Ant and the Elephant" "A Story of Courage and Friendship in the Jungle." The outline of this story: The tale of Andy the ant and Elly the elephant is a beautiful example of how to persevere in the face of adversity, demonstrate courage, and form lasting friendships. A modest anthill was home for Andy and his family, where they shared the space with other ants. He always got up very early, went out to find something to eat, and then worked nonstop throughout the entire day. When he was foraging for food one day, he came across a large elephant with the name Elly. Elly was taking a stroll through the woods, taking in the scenery and appreciating the fresh air. Andy was awestruck by how enormous the elephant was and puzzled over how it managed to make a living in the wild despite its massive size. Elly instilled in Andy the importance of having courage, fighting for what you believe in, and being kind as their friendship developed. They had to collaborate to find solutions to the many challenges they faced in the wilderness, such as rescuing animals that were in danger and preventing people from cutting down trees. Andy and Elly demonstrated that they could triumph against even the most formidable foes by cooperating with one another and making full use of all their abilities. In the wild, they transformed into heroes who encouraged others to fight together for what they believed in and stand up for what they believed to defend their homes and their lives. The selfless and courageous actions that they took were taken note of. When the other animals in the jungle learned what they had done, they congratulated them for their bravery and their determination. Andy and Elly's exploits in the jungle had become legendary. They were revered and admired by every other animal in the forest. The narrative imparts valuable life lessons, like how crucial it is to put in hard work, to have courage, and to be compassionate. It demonstrates how effective it is to collaborate with others to achieve a goal, as well as how vital it is to speak up for what one believes in. Andy and Elly passed away at the same time, but both remained steadfast in their commitment to preserve the forest and inspire others to do the same. They were aware that there was still a great deal of work ahead of them, but they were also aware that if they worked together, they could accomplish anything. Readers of any age will find inspiration in the timelessness of Andy and Elly's story, which is a tale of friendship, bravery, and unwavering persistence. This is how the story began: Andy was an ant who used to reside in a very large forest. Once upon a time. Andy was a hard-working ant who had a lot of determination. Andy, a hard-working ant, and his family and other ants all shared a modest anthill as their home. The anthill was situated on the border of the forest and was encompassed on all sides by dense vegetation and leaves. There was a steady flow of new ants entering and exiting the anthill throughout the day. Andy's family was a close-knit group that looked out for each other in order to stay alive while they were out in the wilderness. They would emerge from the anthill in the wee hours of the morning to search for food. Within the ant colony, each individual ant served a specific purpose. While some ants went in search of food, others brought what they found back to the anthill. The queen ant, who served as the colony's leader, would always remain in the anthill to produce offspring. After they emerged from their eggs, the caterpillars fed on the food that was brought to them by the worker ants until they were mature enough to transform into adults. Andy cared deeply for his family and the people in his community, and he exerted a lot of effort to ensure that they would all be safe. Every day, even though doing so required him to leave the anthill, he went in search of food. He was never one to whine about the burdens of carrying heavy goods on his back. He was aware of the significance of the strenuous effort he was making for the survival of his group. Andy's fervor and doggedness impressed the other ants, who admired him for it. They were aware that he played an essential role in the community and appreciated the work that he accomplished. Despite the challenges they faced, the colony of ants living in the anthill was joyful and robust. They were able to overcome any challenges by relying on one another and cooperating with one another. Andy was aware that he was only a minor contributor to a much larger group, but he also understood the significance of his role. He took great pride in the fact that he was an ant and that he lived in a colony that was so nearby.
