Why am I putting my body and mind through this? As my Spartan brothers and sisters before me were prepared to stand up and be counted, to face the challenges of adversity in unison. So too do I want to be on the battlefield beside my warrior brethrens, as we fight for those who are the true heroes. Those still fighting the good fight and those we have lost.
