The men in blue win the physical battle, but the men in gray win the emotional battle. They win because they've gained the confidence they need to keep going.

The impetus of enthusiasm was theirs again. They gazed about them with looks of uplifted pride, feeling new trust in the grim, always confident weapons in their hands. And they were men.
