He's a bassist,
not a drummer,
a naval hero,
not a plumber -
John Paul Jones.
From John Paul Jones, and days of old. To Mel Gibson, on the silver screen. What do patriots have in common, with each other.They choose to subjugate part of their lives and being, in their belief it is necessary to save the nation.What other motivation could justify the actions, of leaving family and friends to carry out the quest. Hoping their example will energize the rest. To be at the top of their game, ignoring the superficial. All areas, personal, and radar in sync. Not the weak link.To see in time the incoming threat. Not playing tag and hide and seek, with an ally not really so meek.
