And from Rudyard Kipling, with a ring-side seat:
...
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Immediate dishonorable discharge for all military people involved in this travesty.
Air “Force”....forcing nonsense, with this.
Live and learn, I guess, or maybe not, as seems to be the case in our times. I could go around all day and ask people if they’ve read this from Kipling, and I’ll bet I would find no one. I am old enough to remember what has been lost, but younger people have no such memory, and a lot of them lack any desire to find out.
On the radio this morning they were discussing a book that was required reading for sophomores at a prestigious suburban Chicago high school — “Two Boys Kissing.” From passages I heard read, I would have to say it’s basically homosexual erotica. I wonder what the rest of the required reading for sophomores is? The good news is that some parents are pushing back on this. The light is not quite out yet. The bad news is that cleaning things up so the curriculum might provide something like proper education is a job on the level of Hercules cleaning out those stables, and it isn’t going to be finished in a day.
Thanks pfflier.
Gundog the ribbons are great. I’ll be sharing them with my ex AF buddies.
No SAEMR in all those ribbons?
Blechh. Pass.
Heck, even I’ve got one of them!
That was one of the ribbons I liked earning and wearing the most!
