Hawk, For our many foreign readers, the "die for their country" may need explaining. The following quote is from an article on war movies: "The Hero films. Examples: Braveheart, Patton. This is most people's favorite genre, I think. Whether it's some corny speech about freedom, or General Patton saying "Don't die for your country. Make the other guy die for his country," it's the personalities that make for great war films in my opinion. " This is a very famous quote -- try running a google search on "make the other guy die for" and see all the hits you get. --ken/fl
