I'll buy them a few cases of booze, get them drunk, give them some shiny medals, pin them on their chests.. ....problem over.
Let me know if that works, Hip. I've got some friends who enjoy talking big, but I imagine they'll come up with all kinds of excuses as to why they they aren't saddling up and going to war (or whatever people do before they go to war). And if a little booze and a medal or two will ease their minds, then I'll be glad to provide it for them.
