If you read this as bragging about war, I absolutely ask you to reconsider your read here.

This is tribute to a man who went "I'm bored, I'm going to go far outside my comfort zone," helped rebuild infrastructure destroyed by (war, negligence, etc) and solved a hard problem in a short amount of time that improved the lives of others.

The ethics of war has many corners. If there is a war that may have actually been justified in its time, the freeing of Bangladesh may have been one of the few, but that's beside the point of the discussion entirely.
