83 As I have told you, most of the people who are making sacrifices are th ose who are not from the land owning class and about whom the land owners say with contempt, “Th ese people do not know how to fight. I f anyone knows how to fight, it is us. ” But in the arena of sacrifice, it is these people who are offering their lives.
