The more things change

The more they stay the same. If a guy stays in the army long enough there are a few things he will run across, one of them Is Rudyard Kipling. Though he never served in uniform, he is proof that embedded reporters can feel see the essence of our world. Each time I read this, it gains new meanings, proof that poetry is a much about the reader as the poet or his subject.

Please take a minute, and read the words of a great bard. He will take you from the field to the fire, and just maybe shed a little light into our world.
