American Manhood

W. Thomas Smith, Jr. writes about his confidence in American Manhood, based on what he sees in school wrestling and football season. I appreciated what Smith says about developing heart and head - the combination of passion, bravery, and patience to wait for the right time to act. This is congruent with what I've learned from retired members of our special forces -- only those with strong moral character and enormous self-control are able to perform at that level, under pressure.

May every husband and father take this to heart.
