Originally posted by trellheim View PostDev is correctI 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.

Originally posted by SwiftandSure View PostI'm a little more optimistic about the future of the RDF after seeing the training program for next year. Exciting stuff indeed that's more in keeping with the single force concept.

Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
