Asphalt is “progress”?
Pavement may be forever,
But nature fights back.

Thank you for your invitation to this thread, DQrider.
You are an ex-Marine.
A Marine always reminds me of Bob Lee Swagger, scout sniper, gunnery sergeant rtd, Viet Nam vet,
created by Steven Hunter.
He is the main character of Point of Impact, Time to Hunt, and other books.
When he gets a call from an ex-Marine, his last word is always “Semper fi.”
Yeah, I learned “Semper fi” in the Steven Hunter books.
And Viet Nam war.
My favorite novelist is Takeshi “Ken” Kaiko(1930~1989).
He visited Viet Nam in 1964~1965, 1968, 1973 to report Viet Nam war.
February 14 1965, when he and a photographer followed a South Vietnamese company,
they were ambushed by Viet Cong.
In 6 hours, survivors were only 17 out of 202, including Kaiko and the photographer.
He was a smoker and had a Zippo with the same prose, half of Psalms 23-4, of the pic.
Haiku King Matsuo Bashou wrote a haiku, coincidently very good for this pic.
Natsukusa-ya
Tsuwamonodomo-ga
Yumenoato
The summer grass,
‘tis all that’s left
Of ancient warriors’ dreams.
Zippos are original Viet Nam Zippos.
Sorry no bike pix!

But there are no "ex-Marines"
Semper Fi, you know?
Message follows: I've read the Stephen Hunter books; even seen the movies. Both convey the unique commitment Marines make to our country accurately. The thing that makes the Marine Corps special is the harsh and demanding price of admission. They hit you hard, right away, to winnow the weak. That saves a lot of taxpayer's money on more advanced training later on. You can breeze through basic training in the Army, Navy, or Air Force, and go through their advanced combat training later on. But the Marines make you prove yourself from day one.
Your images of the "Valley of Death" Zippos are appreciated. I can't vouch for their owners, or their morals. That verse illustrates nothing more than the intellectual laziness of those times. I would never have gone to war with those sentiments.
People are people. Sometimes our leaders are psychopaths. The disrespect we treat our enemies with in war is all but unforgiveable. If we were to meet these same folks in normal life, we would probably become friends, or at least respectful equals. War is the ultimate obscenity.
Again, thanks for your post. I look forward to more in the future.
