WINTER SOLDIER

Brave winter soldier fighting in the storm

thought of his distant home so warm,

with couches, beds, dry clothes, TV,

and the choice to lie late sleepily,

on mornings slow, with coffee hot,

as he decided what to do or not,

his family wishing from far away

to see him come home safe some day.

[eastariel]

Now he put those thoughts of home aside

as he walked his noble soldier's stride.

The wind blew ice into his face;

the cold chilled his body in every place.

His feet now felt like icy blocks

as he struggled to stay upright and walk.

Bullets shrieked through the windy sky.

He wondered if this would be the day he'd die.

[eastariel]

He lifted his gun as enemy fire

took the heat of his fears a little higher.

He shot at the shooter, knocked him down,

as the last of that life spilled over the ground.

Just another day in this freezing war,

warmed by the cause he was fighting for.

The soldier endures to see the sun

of the morning, bright, when this war is won.

@NovaScotiaNewfie My PsyOp Reserve Company are on jump status. Lots of PsyOp and CA are.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

@SuperBigblue19 the only Reservists I know that can do a jump course and wear the jump wings is one Regiment in Ontario that can do a path finder course s I have know idea why Army Cadets should get to wear jump wings.

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

@SuperBigblue19 I say give them courses that are need for their MOS/MOC. if you do a jump course either be an infantry jump company or member of the airborne. Here in Canada we don't have Airborne any longer just 3 jump companies in the 3 Infantry battalions. But if you are an Army Cadet (which unless you go officer and are commissioned in the Reserves) you are a civilian in an organization that teaches you about the military yet they can do a jump course and get jump wings. I have no idea why.

Why is she dressed as a man?

[SuperBigblue19]

@trevyn41 I'll give her credit but why does the Army have this lady getting master para badges in the first place? Should not the training serve a purpose other then to say I have another badge to put on a uniform. because I hung out with paratroopers for awhile? I mean you see some of these supply types with all these ribbons who spend their entire career behind a desk. Whats the point? It's like a submariner getting a surface warfare pin.

[SuperBigblue19]

I'm sure she  deserve her position. But do you really need a 4 star to head up logistics. I think they could get the job done with a 2 star general. I know it is all about the numbers you have command over, but in the Navy a supply officer is in a different category then a line officer..

your world is going to hell. the purpose of woman is to deliver life, not take, even pretend to. and don't say it's 'peacekeeping'
