The phrase has since evolved into “never leave a wounded soldier” and is used as a drinking tactic. The beer is the wounded soldier, and not finishing it means leaving poor Modelo to die on the battlefield. So you casually share your opinion of the drink with your family, and instantly, the blare of “don’t leave a wounded soldier behind” fills your ears. As I tried to understand and connect the strange analogy, I realized that some people view life through completion, whereas I view mine through satisfaction. The wounded soldier will be OK.Reach Charlotte Seymour at letters@collegian.com or on social media @RMCollegian.
