Trailrider #896 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I've posted it several times before, but the one that sends chills up and down my spine is:"Cock the gun that is not loaded,Cook the frozen dynamite.But, oh beware my country,When my country grows polite!"And we have grown too polite!

Harvey Mushman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Kipling understood. Yes, he did. I became a fan as a young boy, then I really "understood" when I served. After the youtube clip plays, there is the opportuntiy to click on an exceptional rendition of Gunga Din, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for something else and found this version of "Gunga Din". I had no idea Croce had recorded it nor that it had been made into a song. -- GIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 That would be a great title for a poem or a history book. Not going to be me - I broke my crayon. And... I've got to take back a little of my snark: David Cameron's recognition that "extremists" are at war with Western Civilization is as refreshing as it is sadly unique. Almost Churchillian. eron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I wish you guys would stop posting them fuzzy videos and poems. Can't hardly read them and can't hear the audio with all that sobbing in the background. If only today's pundits understood one hundredth of the debt they owe to the generations of men that put on their countries uniform in the name of freedom the world would be a much better place. Anyone that wore the uniform during the Vietnam years knows all too well just exactly how Tommy feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
