Empathy — the ability to understand and share the feelings of another — is a noble virtue. But empathy can also lead us astray. In fact, it can be fatal. Gad Saad, a scholar at the Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom at the University of Mississippi, warns how misdirected empathy endangers not just well-intentioned individuals but Western Civilization itself. Others have made the ultimate sacrifice so that you could be free. Remember them—today, and always.  Today, on Memorial Day, watch this moving tribute, written and narrated by former Navy SEAL and author Jocko Willink 👉 https://l.prageru.com/42Lz9h7 ▶️ Watch more episodes of 5-Minute Videos at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://l.prageru.com/4lCX76A⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

But on that cold morning, neither the colonial militia nor their redcoat opponents were looking for a fight. So how exactly did an unplanned confrontation become the opening volley of the Revolution?
