This is the conclusion of Hitchen's essay on the death of Mark Daily, a young man who was inspired by Hitchens to join the army, and gave his life in Mosul, Iraq.

The essay is a very interesting and introspective piece, and was one of David Brooks' picks for best essays of the year.

It is well worth reading to contemplate the reality of the war, separate from the propaganda and politics. A very refreshing change.
