Subject: Veterans Day; Netflix Series Fauda; "The-Why" warriors and veterans fight an enemy before him.

Brothers,

I wish you all the best in life and health this Veterans Day Holiday.

I'm watching a Netflix Series called, "Fauda (4 Seasons; binge watching),” the Hebrew and Arab term for "Chaos (perfect name),” and the setting is in the Israeli–Palestinian and Hamas/ISIS war. Israeli is represented by their Intel forces trying to counter Hamas and ISIS terrorist, whose goals are to strike Israeli Intel personnel, and kill every Jew possible.

As a Vietnam Veteran, I've watched the Fauda series with interest portraying both sides’ points-of-views, defining their “truths” and justifications for violence “necessary” to reach their “goals.” Missing is the answer as to “The-Why” they are doing such things with such devotion.

I'm not trying to get you to watch the series, but to share one of the best quotations I've heard describing a warriors’ “Why” and motivation for fighting an enemy before him, as portrayed in the series “Fauda.”

I read a quotation this morning I think also answers “The-Why” as applied to our own American warriors and veterans performed in battle, as compared to the enemy:

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” ― G.K. Chesterton, English philosopher

How true.

Don Poss
