The Power of Nothing
Nothin' is harder to do than nothing.
I spoke to a navy lieutenant, he told me the punishment for the sailors under his command was to sit, and do nothing. Perhaps it is because anyone joining the military, willingly, deep down wants to be a hero, they want to help, to be useful. Here, nothingness equates to uselessness. For those sailors, seals, cadets, lieutenants, that's worse than losing the war.
