Xavier is my hero today. Anyone who can completely dispel nonsense with four simple words of profound meaning gets my admiration. “Take off the helmet”: pithy, terse and so applicable today.

Some of these cultural references sail past me without understanding. So many "celebrities" and I don't even watch sportsball.

There are a lot of things wrong with the Omar Bradley approved script for the 1968 film "Patton" but the opening speech is pretty good. The point of warfare is not to die for your country. It is to make the other poor dumb s.o.b. die for his.
