Creation of a Soldier
THE CREATION OF A SOLDIER.
When the Lord was creating Soldiers, he was into his sixth day of overtime when an Angel appeared and said "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
And the Lord said "Have you read the specifications on this person?""Soldiers have to be able to go for hours fighting or tending to a person that the usual every day person would never touch, all the while putting in the back of their mind the circumstances.
They have to be able to move at a moments notice and not think twice at what they are about to do, no matter what the danger.
They have to be in top physical condition at all times, running on half-eaten MRE's and very little sleep.
They must have six pairs of hands.
"The Angel shook her head slowly and said "Six pairs of hands...no way!"
"It's not the hands that are causing me problems" said the Lord."It's the three pairs of eyes a Soldier has to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the Angel.The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through the smoke and haze where they and their fellow Soldiers should fight the enemy next. Antoher pair here, in the side of the head to see their fellow Soldiers and keep them safe. And a third pair of eyes in the front so that they can look for the wounded, caught in the fight that may need their help."
"Lord" said the Angel, touching his sleeve, "Rest and work on this tomorrow."
"I can't" said the Lord. "I already have a model that can carry a 100pounds of different pieces of equipment and can recite many procedures in their sleep that are needed to care for a wounded soldier until they are taken away by the medics. And all the while, they have to keep their wits about themselves."
"This Soldier also must have phenomenal personal control. They can deal with scenes full of pain, hurt, noise and smoke. They can be laughing and joking one second and fierce and hard in the next. And still they rarely get the recognition for a job well done from anybody other than from fellow Soldiers.
"Finally the Angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Soldier.
"there's a leak" she pronounced. "Lord, it's a tear.""What is the tear for?" asked the Angel.
"It's a tear from bottled-up emotions for fallen comrades. A tear forcommittment to that funny piece of cloth called the flag. It's a tear for all the pain and suffering they have encountered. And, it's a tear for their commitment to defending our freedoms and saving lives of their fellow man."
"What a wonderful feature Lord, you're a genius" said the Angel.
The Lord looked somber and said "I didn't put it there."
