"Ne desit virtus" translates to "Let virtue not fail" in English. So basically, don't let your moral compass go MIA. Keep being a decent human being, even when the world is full of chaos and questionable TikTok dances.

Answer 3

Virtue without end.

The 187th Infantry Regiment sees it differently, though. Their tradition translates it as "Let valor not fail".

Actually, the 187th's is the correct translation. There's nothing there about 'without end.'

Virtus = bravery, courage, valor

Desit = 3rd sing, present subjunctive of deesse, meaning be wanting/be lacking/fail/miss. Hortatory subjunctive such as this is translated by 'Let ....'

Ne = negative

Let valor not fail.

Answer 4

according to the band, 100 Demons (it's a track name of one of their songs) it means Never Surrender Virtue. Another translation would be Virtue Without End.

Well, 100 Demons don't do a good job of translating to Latin. That translates to:

May virtue never be absent.
