DANGER CALLED
By Carl Martin Johnson

Danger called me to her side
To tell me we would wed.
She was a willing bride,
But warned my blood she’d shed.

In return she would excite,
Give me thrills beyond compare,
If only I would fight
When called to that hard dare.

I am not her only spouse.
She has chosen others.
We all share honor’s house.
All of us are brothers.
 
THE COMMANDOS PRAYER

Give me, my God, what you still have;
Give me what no one asks for.
I do not ask for wealth, nor success,
Nor even health.


People ask you so often, God, for all that,
That you cannot have any left.


Give me, my God, what you still have.
Give me what people refuse to accept from you.
I want insecurity and disquietude;
I want turmoil and brawl.


And if you should give them to me,
My God, once and for all,
Let me be sure to have them always,
For I will not always
Have the courage to ask for them.

CPL Zirnheld, SAS 1942
 
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

John Stuart-Mill
