"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

have you never read the passage under the bridge??
I knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

No... I must go under the bridge again some time soon and read it....

Got some PLCE pouches and some active hearing protection yesterday thanks to a poster on this board! PLCE is, of course, decidedly un-gucci but I'm happy!

They seem the knees of the bees anyway. My only concern is that they fit under the helmet...they seem a little bulkier in that department than the passive ones.
