How many of us nowadays would be willing to do this? For anybody who’s ever been in the military and who has ever had to camp in the open weather, it’s difficult to read stuff like this without getting tears in your eyes. Valley Forge has been described as “barbarically primitive”, and when you consider that those poor guys were out there with rags wrapped around their bleeding feet because they didn’t have any boots, standing in the snow in sub-zero temperatures, pulling guard duty in the wind in summer clothing, and eating God knows what, it really brings it home.
