Since 9/11/2001, the United States has fought to wage the global war on terror on our terms and off our soil - Keeping our homeland safe from attack and the terrorists on the run. On the front lines of this historic operation are some of the US finest warriors, including those who make up the US Special Operations Command of the Army,Air Force, Navy and Marines.
The above is contemporary happenings but below is ancient history as contrast of warriors.
Washington Post,January 7,2009 on page C1: Warriors from China on display to charge admission $6-$12: National Geographic Show means an opportunity of viewing historic relic from China. The legendary terra-cotta warriors of China are coming to National Geographic Museum for the first time to charge admission. The life-size figures will open Nov.19 in the museum at 17th and M streets,NW,Washington.
Here is another empirical evidence of Sino-American Economics.
To my recollection,a warrior said in jest: "After 100 years,there is no difference!" That statement was made in 1953 when I was teaching at ALS in Monterey,California. Food for thought as metaphor.
