Those two things are tied together and the expectation,
-
indeed in many cases, as in the case of Baden-Powell,
-
joyous expectation.
-
You could test your virility in a more meaningful combat
-
than simply slaughtering indigenous people,
-
or picking off Boers with greater numerical superiority.
-
By the way, Robert Baden-Powell died in Kenya,
-
in 1941, from which he had just sent
-
his last patriotic message
-
to the Boy Scouts,
-
in what was a very different war.

Thank you.
