Reasons to get married

Well, no one made poopy jokes out of your last name, I'd wager. Dad might be amused to know what it harkens for you, though. Man was always trying to get me interested in war-shit. ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png)  (April 25, 2013 at 8:19 am)thesummerqueen Wrote: [snorts] Try as I might I can't see any scatological elements in your surname. I must be getting old.

Perhaps he should have harped on about how the suitability for conflict of a great many technologies and their surplus is what led to their being leveraged (and forming the cornerstone of) our modern agricultural methodologies? A tank and a tractor are good at what they do respectively for precisely the same reason. An interceptor makes a wonderful crop duster. Chemical agents are effective weapons against biologicals (and the preferred means of dispersal are equivalent) in both war and farming because they operate on precisely te same mechanics. Finally, of course, because each tech pulls double duty and reenforces the other - they were always a natural fit.... (perhaps more saliently, if ag was a war waged against our environment - we've clearly been winning, but just like any conflict of this scale drawn out over such a long period the collateral damage is becoming difficult to bear or justify) 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He kept trying to get me interested in the machines and guns, and I liked the stories and the people. Take the Bull Run Battlefield, for instance. The scattered cannons and other paraphanalia didn't interest me so much as reading about the men hiding in the long grass in the exhausting Virginia heat to surprise the advancing side coming over the lip of the gully they were waiting in. Or seeing the graffiti left by soldiers. You know me, Rhythm. It's the stories that always hold me. The true ones, and the ones meant to deliver a truth by fantastical means. |
