Lo spirito di una nazione. Quando quasi due anni fa Pat Tillman decise di lasciare tutto e partire per l'Afghanistan, Peggy Noonan dedicò a lui e a quelli come lui uno splendido articolo che oggi il WSJ ripropone.
On Monday morning, Pat Tillman "came in like everyone else, on a bus from a processing station," according to a public information officer at Fort Benning, Ga., and received the outward signs of the leveling anonymity of the armed forces: a bad haircut, a good uniform and physical testing to see if he is up to the rigors of being a soldier. Soon he begins basic training. And whatever else happened this week--Wall Street news, speeches on the economy--nothing seems bigger, more important and more suggestive of change than what Pat Tillman did. That is a bigger and better story than usually makes the front page. Markets rise and fall, politicians come and go, but that we still make Tillmans is headline news. Thank you, Pat. |
