One has to love the whole "Band of Brothers" thing. Named from a portion of the 'St. Crispin's Day' monologue from Shakespear's "Henry V," its a beautiful thing. Bush can produce absolutely none of this.
The irony, of course, is the Democrats trying hard to portray themselves as a war party. Its something they're just not used to, but I think Kerry is doing a good job.
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
From "Henry V" by William Shakespear
