Here in the vast esploited prairies of SD nice to have my random thoughts joined in a cohesive article. Thanks

I will quote from Kipling's poem, The Young British Soldier, "When you lie wounded on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains. Jest roll to your rifle and blow out yer brains. And go to yer Gawd like a soldier." They beat the British and the Russians. Whatever made us think it would be any different for us?
