A tale of three WWI Soldiers...
The Cowman here... still piddling around on the internet since I can't sleep... and I came across another goodie worth sharing. I found this on this joke site, but it is certainly not a joke:
Horror gripped the heart of a World War I soldier, as
he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. Caught in a
trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head,
the soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out
into the "no man's land" between the trenches to
bring his fallen comrade back. "You can go," said the
Lieutenant, "but I don't think it will be worth it.
Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your
life away." The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and
the soldier went anyway. Miraculously, he managed to
reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and
brought him back to their company's trench. As the two
of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the
trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then
looked kindly at his friend. "I told you it wouldn't
be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you
are mortally wounded." "It was worth it, Sir," said
the soldier. "What do you mean by worth it?" responded
the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead." "Yes Sir," the
private answered, "but it was worth it because when I
got to him, he was still alive and I had the
satisfaction of hearing him say.... "JIM... I KNEW
YOU'D COME."
So on that note, I raise my glass to all the guys out there who constantly have their best buddy's six!
