An individual working-class person having to enter the military of a Bourgeois State requires a certain strength of character even before meeting any designated external enemy! The point often not understood is that the bourgeoisie is the eternal enemy of the proletariat but continuously uses the bodies of that proletariat to fight its wars! What is admirable about our working-class ancestors is that they generally exercised very good class consciousness when knowing where and how to ‘join-up’, survived the brutal discipline and the training, and then quite often survived actual combat!
