"Eagles Over Wolves in a Rout"

Earlier in the course, we posed the question: is there one part of society better than the rest?

The question arose from the discussion of G.F. Will's desire to see a gap between the military and society, from the fact that the military is drawn from society, and from the (corresponding) lack of consensus on whether we're actually better than the society we serve.

Here's one answer. A 13-year-old named Nadin Khoury was bullied and beaten by a gang of kids at school. He stood up. Read the story (ESPN), watch the interview (ABC). He motivated three NFL players to back him up, made Whoopi Goldberg cry, and is being recruited by Valley Forge Military Academy. He wants to be a Marine. Not a bad start.
