Jane Austen reminds me of what peace can accomplish; I hope that my efforts will allow my friends and family to worry about matters of romance, not me being deployed, or worse yet, the struggle to survive another day. Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in 1812, at the height of the Britian's global struggle with the French, yet the only mention of the military is eligible bachelor officers. To me, this reflects the safety that Britain's military was able to give their island by projecting force and eventually defeating their enemy. I hope we can do the same.
Plus, the innocence of it all is a nice break, every once in a while, from the heavier stuff.
