The soldier's part is to obey
The warrior's to fight
The soldier fights when ordered to
The warrior when right

Honor, fear, grim necessity
Passion, glory and need
Exalted for his sacrifice
Exalted for his deed

Lives aside from his profession
His is a way of life
Hopes never to perform his job
He glories in the strife

Many condemned in histories
All honored by the rhyme
Forgotten by passing ages
Remembered throughout time

I'm a soldier soon for certain
A warrior I hope

- Ryan Blough

	"Ivan Ilych's life was most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." --The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy "The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself." -Sir Winston Churchill The age of miracles is past. On the road between the homes of friends, grass does not grow. If the glacier perceives a headless army is clumsy, it feels a sort of emphatic guilt,
