Until death, all defeat is psychological.

The body quits long after the mind does. Outnumbered, outgunned, bleeding: a man is still in the fight as long as he is breathing. The only ending that counts is the one he agrees to.

The flag is big enough to own a wall, and the polyester takes rain and wind if it hangs outside. A metal grommet sits in each corner. Every hem is folded and sewn twice, so the edges don't fray.
