I have known the glory of battle
and the taste of victory sweet.
Heard the ring clash of arms
and borne the burden of defeat.

I have carried forth the banner
of nations and of kings,
fought for love and honor
and some less virtuous things.

On the battlefield I held my breath
against the foul stench of death
while my mind recalled the pageantry
that had envisioned only victory.

Then I looked into the eyes of a mother
in the aftermath of war
and chose to come into this world
as a warrior...
Nevermore.

Ah, wish it was that simple, Ida, but evolving generations go to battle not understanding what they are doing. Brings to mind words of an old song, "Ain't gon study war no mo, ain't gon study war no mo."
