Where Does Courage Come From?

“Pick up your guns and let’s go guys cut those Salvadorans down to size”.

This was not something that surprised a lot since the novel mentions a lot of conflicts all around the world. Any way the words are what really shocked me, they are strong to me they seem like they are chanting to go to war. Something that I believe is that the words are strong as to give a man the courage to fight and kill. Well wile I was in middle school I had to wake up at 06:00 hours for the mile run, during the run I we had to sing to forget about being tired. Also we singe the pledge to the flag every morning, that inspired us o be patriotic just as the soldiers to kill the Salvadorans.
To me a song can inspire as much as a speech that is why this quote, is interesting it expresses the hate of the soldiers and their desire to fight.
