MY RIFLE!

This is my rifle,
there are many like it,
but this one is mine!
My rifle is my best friend,
it is my life!
I must master it,
as I must master my life!
Without me, my rifle is useless.
Without my rifle,
I am useless!
I must fire my rifle true.
I must shoot straighter than my enemy,
who is trying to kill me.
I must shoot him, before he shoots me.
I will!
Before God, I swear this creed:
My rifle and myself are defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy...

What puffs and patters?
What clicks and clatters?
I know what, O, what fun!
It's a lovely Gatling-gun!...

Svanerne fra norden/Hans Hartvig Seedorff Pedersen
(Nordens dag, 1936)

De slog sig ned engang ved nordens kyst,
fem vilde svaner, klædt i sølver-hamme.
Et strejf af dagning farved deres bryst,
før solen selv slog ud sin røde flamme.
De sidste tåger veg. Et vældigt rum,
med skyers fjeldpragt over bølgers skum,
sænked sin blåhed i de dybe vande,
dér gynged nordens unge, lyse lande.

Da brød den første svane ud i sang:
Her søstre, vil jeg bo og bygge rede.
Mit sind er et med Sjælland...

Et ganske nice juledikt, selvom det er amerikansk.

A DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS POEM

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure a...

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.
William T. Sherman

I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!...

Noen fler

Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.
William T. Sherman

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
William T. Sherman

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers....

Halfway down the trail to Hell
In a shady meadow green
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped,
Meat a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers' Green.

Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of the Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.

Though some go curving down the trail
To see a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his cante...

In a foreign field he lay
Lonely soldier, unknown grave
On his dying words he prays
Tell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he's been through
Last communion of his soul
Rust your bullets with his tears
Let me tell you 'bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trench
Kill time 'til my very own death
On my face I can feel the falling rain
Never see my friends again

In the smoke, in the mud and lead
Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
Soon be time to go over the wal...

Kildehenvisning for innlegget ovenfor: Iron Maiden med sangen Paschendale, på albumet Dance of death

Slenger på nok en sangtekst fra Iron Maiden. Sangen heter "These colours don't run", og finnes på albumet "A matter of life and death". Kunne godt vært ett dikt. Og det passer jo ganske godt inn i livssituasjonen til mange ansatt i det norske forsvar.

These colours don't run

When you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones

The Day Is Comin',
The Drums Are Drummin',
If You Know One Say It Firm.

There's Mother's Cryin',

Sitat med en nesten usynlig historisk parallell ironi:

DULCE ET DECORUM EST (WWI)

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

The Charge of the Light Brigade
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (Krimkrigen)

1.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

2.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:

It is my life.
I must master it as I master my life.

Og så har vi Shakespeare, talen kong Henrik V holder for soldatene sine før slaget ved Azincourt, på St. Crispians dag ( i "Henry V"):

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall see this day and live old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispin's:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his s...

Poesi

I Have a Rendezvous with Death . . .

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air --
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath --
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spri...

Lay Me Down

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground

Shelley

Ozymandias
I met a Traveler from an antique land,
Who said, "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words app...

In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it.
-Sun Tzu, the Art of War

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
-Sun Tzu, the Art of War

The soldier

In a station in the city, a British soldier stood
Talking to the people there, if the people would
Some just stared in hatred and others turned in pain
And the lonely British soldier, wished he was back home again

'Come join the British army' said the posters in his town
'See the world and have your fun, come serve before the Crown'
The jobs were hard to come by and he could not face the dole
So he took his country's' shilling and enlisted on the roll

But there was no ...
