Many men marching to the same beat. A mighty army for the meat grinder that is war. When Hitler and Emperor Hirohito lock stepped their armies, we had to, too.
With war becoming more long distance all the time, is such conditioning, mental and physical to follow the line of command, still valid?
My nephew is in boot camp right now for the National Guard. He is marching 10 miles in sloppy North Carolina winter, jumping to commands so that he doesn't have to do additional calisthenics, and nursing sore feet from ill fitting new boots.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
