  “A man who defends his country or attacks another is no more than a soldier.
  But he, who adopts some other country as his own and makes offer of his sword
  and his blood, is more than a soldier. He is a hero.”

  “Where is the brave one?”
  
  
  “He lies over the ridge, Sitting Bull,” the warrior said and pointed east.
