"Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*"
-Aragorn, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Yup, I absolutely feel like going to war right now... Einstein said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Well, if World War I was fought with ships and guns, World War II with bombs and economics, then now, World War III will be fought with brains and stationeries... yup, that's what World War III will be fought with. Brains and stationeries... (if you didn't notice, that was one of the RARE occassions in which i actually use 1 FULL STOP)...
Aaaaanyways... the war is coming up... and, as usual, as a soldier, I gotta load up my weapon, train hard, and focus on that day...
HOWEVER!!!
Like any other soldier, besides the war, you can bet there's always something going on at the back of their head... Yup! There'll always be something besides the war on their mind... So then, just recently as we were lining up for one of the greatest battle of all time, some crazy fella had to pull me aside and get me thinking about other stuff... OTHER... stuff...
Soldiers usually have families on their mind... and so that crazy fella made me think about... how nutsy can this crazy fella get??? If only I could smack the head of the crazy fella... but then again, it is appropriate to be actually thinking about it... it sorta relaxes me... (more like tensing me up more...)
At least that's one concern off my mind... Now, where was I again??? Oh yeah, the war...
