Steel_Hamster Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 A short poem by Alf Robertsson.”Gud och soldaten vördar vi, när i tider av fruktan de står oss bi. Men när tiderna ändras och fyllda blir faten, då glömmer vi Gud och föraktar soldaten.”Free translation:"In God and the soldier we trust, in times of fear they stand by us. But when times are a changing and the plates are filled, we forget our God and despise the soldier." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
