World War II had been such a tremendous success story for this country that the political and military leadership began to assume that they would prevail simply because of who they were. We were like the British at the turn of the 19th century.

Even military ministers have no more than a certain amount of control. It is customary that they have the right and the power to participate, from a political and military point of view, in the planning of actual operations.

Rhapsody of a Simple Kiss
Simple a kiss,
Plagued in soft lips,
A lip genuinely pure,
On touch;
A lip genuinely in need,
Of a slow kiss;
A leisurely sweet kiss
Inducing and quivering my lips with a thousand sweet taste.
She smiles, genuinely smiles
When I kiss, when I whisper,
“I love you, genuinely love you”.

Cold Beer In The Desert
Famines, floods and earthquakes! !
Like 'Marcus Amelius Antonius' who was a philosopher and a stoic;
But eliminating political rivals is what you know,
And like the beast who is now set on the thrown to rule.
An autocrat,
To be sold as slaves;
In the period of military anarchy! !
But i need a cold beer in the desert to cool down my thirst.
We are all in this boat together,
But you are now fading away from the pages of history;
However i will be very strng and brave to lead the course,
For Rome was not built in a day.

We had training camp for a week, and we used the actual military drills of that period. We didn't have to work out much after hours, because going up and down hills all day was a good workout in itself.
