Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire.
"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

It's nice that you liked your hazing and think it was great experience, you bonded and so...
On the other hand, there's a picture in my mind. It's late August, I'm in Greece, Aegean coast, near the beach, around 9pm... There's a properly cooled bottle of white wine, next to a rather big salad bowl, filled with tomatoes, paprika, thinly sliced fresh cucumbers and huge amount of olives, with a modicum of vinegar and just a light sprinkle of olive oil on top, and Feta cheese added in liberal amount. Next to me there's a beautiful brunette, about 25 years old, with wet hair, bronze tan and not an abundance of clothes... And I'm about to bond with her.
So, you guys can say what you want, but my bonding beats your bonding.![]()

The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

I'm not dating that girl anymore...
I still wonder if she was a spy though. Of course her story checked out, but that's what you expect from a self respecting spy anyway ;)
About that Putin photo... Doesn't it look like he is... Skipping? Or is it just me?
Weeeee're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz!!

"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
I think old military songs should be revived, as I think they're just as relevant now as when they were written. The US army needs more songs about subduing the rebel scum and how southerners will get what's coming to them (or alternatively about a drive to extend the borders to the Labrador Sea). That rubbish about treading grapes should be abandoned as well, as singing about John Brown's rotting corpse is much more inspiring.
