I intend to fight. [WWII]

I intend to fight. [WWII] >As the days slowly began to lengthen, meaning decent fighting weather was approaching, tension increased. Inevitably the young men thought of death. Few made their thoughts articulate, but [Webster](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/Pfc_david_webster_506.jpg) dealt with his directly. He wrote his mother, instructing her to “stop worrying about me. I joined the parachutists to fight. I intend to fight. If necessary, I shall die fighting, but don’t worry about this because no war can be won without young men dying. Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice.” _________________________________ **Source:** Ambrose, Stephen Edward. “Duties of the Latrine Orderly.” *Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest*.
