garfield, its always a sad day when units stand down and barracks close and now with a brigade gone, you have to ask whats next? we knew for years this was going to happen, but the carry on by the top brass in the restructure of the army just beggers belief! my heart goes out to the Cav lads, first seeing their barracks in longford close with the uncertainty and upheavel that comes with that, the move to athlone, and now faced with going to the curragh? i know some will say its good they have a job, and that may be so, but it does seem to be aimed at the reducing the force yet again by making the more senior soldier retire. it is a hard truth to face that a lot of lads who gave of themselves unselfishly and bravely in the defence and security of the state and in UN operations worldwide just have enough of the new army logic. i wish the members of the 4th Cav and the other units of the Western Bde, and their families, all the best in their future.

'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.' - Ezekiel 25:17 , now thats a quote to say when your sloshed down the local!!

'i am become death...the destroyer of worlds' used to think it was a discription of the m-i-l, but unfortunately it was a saying from an old hindu text, quoted by Robert Oppenheimer who? yes the lad who invented the atomic bomb.
