When such decisions are made by the architects of our foreign policy, they are premised on the idea that self-sacrifice is a virtue — that stronger nations must serve weaker ones, that our actions in the global arena require collective ratification, that the rights of Americans must be subordinated to the demands of the rest of the world.
While many of the greatest films dealing with World War II (including series like HBO's "Band of Brothers") are inflected by the higher goal of "the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe," as General Eisenhower told his troops that June 75 years ago, they are foremost anchored by gut-wrenching, up-close stories of self-sacrifice and heroism.

In an article he wrote some years later, he predicted that future generations of Americans would come to share his emotions: Now deemed unworthy of the notice of any, save fanatical abolitionists, these acts of sublime heroism, of lofty self-sacrifice, of patient martyrdom, these beautiful Providences, these hair-breadth escapes and terrible dangers, will yet become the themes of the popular literature of this nation, and will excite the admiration, the reverence and the indignation of the generations yet to come.
