On A Par
Dear Folks,
Here we have some photos of my third son, as he plays on some tanks and whatnot at the national cemetary, next door to our school. We are just so darned lucky to have this sort of neat stuff in our backyard, right next door to our public elementary school, as it were. All the little kiddies just love to go there whenever they can squeeze out a pinch of time for a quick visit and climb about on the hallowed military equipment.
Their mothers teach them assiduously that "The best offence is a good defense," "Get one for the Gipper." "Quitters never win and winners never quit," as it were.
To that, you must patronizingly forgive South Koreans for their hyper-concern with maintaining a dominant military (currently ranked on a par, at #8 in the world, with mainland China), given that they have been invaded more far recently than we in the U.S. of A., as it were. Perhaps they will "loosen up" and adopt a more passivist posture after they endure a few more pampered generations. After all, they inherit the dubious distinction of sharing "the world's most armed border," as it were.
What could be more fun for a young boy than climbing about on a tank?
