The Young British Soldier by Rudyard Kipling
Don't misunderstand this blogg. I, like most Southerners support our boys over there in that desolate land of Afghanistan. I did however stumble across this poem just after 9-11. Alexander The Great took on these tribes. The British were there. Kipling gives some glimpses of their struggles. The USSR took them on. With a little help from us they failed. Now we are there. If the poem looks too long, read the last eight lines.

You wonder if history will repeat itself again?
