Summary

This quote highlights a common tendency among people to pay homage to God and soldiers during times of peril, when they are in immediate need of guidance and protection. However, once the danger subsides and deliverance is achieved, individuals tend to forget about their dependence on God and disregard the sacrifices made by soldiers. It critiques the tendency for society to overlook the contributions of those who protect and defend, and the ease with which gratitude and reverence can fade in the face of comfort and safety.
