At the risk of offending -- I came on this
prayer by Robert McAfee Brown, which seems appropriate
for our times.
Let us pray.
O Thou great Chief of Staff,
Supreme in the Chain of Command,
Keep us on top.
We fight for you, we kill for you,
>From bombers (as it were) in heaven.
Give us a budget
Commensurate with our needs.
And forgive us our collateral damage
As we forgive the 9/11 terrorists.
Lead us not into land wars,
And deliver us from Congressional control and Senate hearings
For yours is the kingdom
(Ours is the air power)
And also the glory.
Unless Saddam strikes first, of course.
At ease.
Ten years from now, will we look back to this fall, and wish that our
middle eastern war had gone as well as Vietnam?
