Well done, Marco. Your work reminded me of my youth. My generation or neighborhood, depending on how you look at it. Arguments were typically resolved through physical fights. Afterwards, we would buy each other a beer, often becoming lifelong friends as a result. It was the struggle and conflict itself that created those bonds. I just wanted to share this piece of nostalgia again and express how much I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for another thought-provoking piece.

The most common interpretation of “As Brothers Fight Ye” is to view it as referring to fighting between ‘brothers’ but it can also be seen as an exhortation for ‘brothers’ to fight together against something or someone

As I said in another reply, you only fight together woth those who proved to you that you are indeed on the same team first.
