in the thick of the battle, amidst the chaos and the cacophony of gunfire, i recall a memo about parachuting that genuinely helped us rebuff the adversary's advances without any preexpenditure of our strategic reserves. reading it was like being reinvigorated from scratch; it pinned down the essence of courage, reminding us that sometimes, to take control, you need to let go and jump into the unknown, trusting your training and instincts to carry you through.
