Seems corny to put a posting here to back up you cynical ******s, but maybe some of you are logging on!
One of the "Melchets" (MacFadyen, I think), sent out a signal with the following Shakespearian quote on the eve of the 1991 round in that stinking part of the globe:
"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
Whilst most of us thought "what a ****", I've come to realise that the sentiment, itself, DOES hold true. Do your duty as you know it and understand that the majority value your courage and wish that they could aspire to it.
Godspeed.
