After researching this I found that the thought came from the poem "Tommy" by Rudyard Kipling. (Also look for a great reading of this poem by Roger Moore, of 007 fame.) It has been re-cast by Orwell into the more familiar form and (maybe falsely?) attributed to Churchill. And of course, a variation of this thought was by Col Jessup (A Few Good Men). So I would credit it to Kipling and Orwell with a possible acknowledgement that Churchill may have used it in some form as well. (I could not confirm this.) As for George from East Bridgewater, he seems to be very mad about something. But he is too confused to clearly express himself (excluding crude vulgarities and analogies that do not make sense). Good luck to him on taming his demons. As for me, I say God Bless the USA and the (rough) men and women that stand on the front line (wherever that may be) and watch over us.
