Genesis Of The Field Artillery

 


I
n the beginning,

There was chaos, and the chaos was the infantry, the queen
Of battle. However, the queen was alone. And fear was with the infantry, so
She cried out unto the Lord saying" "Lord save me for I am afraid!"

And the Lord heard her grunts and set some of the infantry on beasts of
Burden, and these he called the cavalry, and the cavalry became armor. And
When the Lord saw what he had done, he laughed saying: "Well, you can't
Win them all!"

As time passed, the infantry and the armor again cried out unto the Lord
Saying; "Lord save us, for we are afraid." The Lord heard their cries and
Decided to end their weeping.

The Lord said unto them: "I shall send unto you a race of men noble in heart
And spirit." And the Lord created the Field Artillery, and named them the
King of Battle.

And the Lord said unto the infantry and armor: "When it is dark, the King
Shall light your way. And when you need smoke, there shall be smoke, and
When you need it to rain down death and destruction upon the enemy, you
Shall have it.

And the Lord gave the King big guns and big bullets. And the Infantry and
Armor were jealous, for they had not. And the Lord gave the artillery rockets
And missiles and nukes. And when the infantry and armor saw this, they fell
To their knees in awesome wonder, saying;
Surely the Lord is on the side of the artillery, the
King of Battle.

And the Lord said: "CHECK".

And abided infantry, armor and artillery, but the greatest of these is the
FIELD ARTILLERY
