<p>Life is not always fair, but some people, like Commander Lippold, fight on the grounds on principle. They are the people who keep the rest of us using our moral compasses. One should never give up a fight on the premise of “that’s the way it is.” I thank God for people like Commander Lippold and CAPT McVay’s sailors who fight for what is right. People like them make the paths clearer for those of us who come after them.</p>
