So where was I. Oh yes. The War
The humans I think knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair the human fought back with even greater strength. They MADE the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones and then throw themselves without fear or hesitation at the very face of death itself. Never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could be helped but be moved to tears by the courage. Their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships they used guns. When they ran out of guns they used knifes and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent.
I only hope that when it is my time that I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes at the end. They did this for 2 years! They never ran out of courage.
