This seems to really rile a lot of people. Pretty hard to humbly fight a war. Yes, it does. What may also rile people is the notion that somehow the opposite of "swagger" is "humility." Although I guess that's better than "cowardice." <g> How about "professionalism" for the right tone? Or "seriousness?" Maybe "statesmanship?" Swagger is for punks. I prefer the Winston Churchill model. It takes a "macho" attitude to be good at it. Does it really? I have no experience with that, either combat or macho attitudes. Both are quite alien to me. I would assume that training, commitment, teamwork, loyalty, things like that would be most important in a combat situation.
