SOLDIERS OR SOCCER

Can they be spoken of in the same breath? It seems they can.

Both rate time on TV. From those who go beyond the call of duty in protecting others from the evil devices of man to those who entertain others and rake in thousands, basking in the glory of their fans, both seem rated as of equal worth.

The victorious team parade through London to the adulation of thousands, while our true heros neither see nor hear aclaim as their hearses slowly and silently make their way past the few who mourn and care.

'Times are indeed out of joint'. It takes a grieving widow to try and set it right.
