Now Jim:
There is a great equalizer in combat.  Life.  We all want to hold on 
to it and when it is threatened, whether our own or the guy in 
the "foxhole" beside you, you tend to defend it with every fiber of 
your being.  This is the glue that binds units together.  Fighting 
for a common goal.

Harry will have to walk the line to get them to train together, 
however, once they fight together, there will be little that can come 
between them.
