FIRE SUPPORT-We Make Things Dead!

The Fire Support Team
YOU'VE REACHED THE HOME OF THE EYES OF DEATH!
We seek inspiration from all corners of the globe
(Especially the ones where they blow things up!)
Despite our predelication to wreck havoc for havoc's sake, we do acknowledge the price paid. War is both a purpose and a fear in all of us. If you have any great bits of poetry or prose on the subject of war, especially if it relates to the Field Artillery, please pass it on to us so we can share it with the rest of the world. Thank you.

Be slowly lifted up, thou long black arm,
Great Gun towering towards Heaven, about to curse;
Sway steep against them, and for years rehearse
Huge imprecations like a blasting charm!
Reach at that Arrogance which needs thy harm,
And beat it down before its sins grow worse.
Spend our resentment, cannon, -- yea, disburse
Our gold in shapes of flame, our breaths in storm.

Yet, for men's sakes whom thy vast malison
Must wither innocent of enmity,
Be not withdrawn, dark arm, thy spoilure done,
Safe to the bosom of our prosperity.
But when thy spell be cast complete and whole,
May God curse thee, and cut thee from our soul!
