RE: On "pointless gestures" that are really Morale victories
Great points! "Pointless gestures" do have a point, to make a statement against the odds.
They become a symbol greater than their context. Everyone wants to "matter". In our current world scene, the big players strut their stuff and the minor players rarely have a chance.
Doolittle's seemingly pointless raid made a huge point!
Thank you, I understand the envy that people who have been working to enlarge their public profile have for Laura, because so many people had never heard of her before, but then she's the woman of the hour!
I think that Doolittle made it big afterwords because he had already put in the work that developed professional & proper habits that enabled him to build on that success.
