Heh — my brother did that incomprehensible act several times as part of his training with the Texas Airborne reserve unit he joined in the 70’s after serving his active duty. He made it sound almost fun — obviously hallucinating or something!

In view of a recent tendency to identify characters in fiction with real people, it seems proper to state that there are no real people in this volume: both the characters and their names are ficticious.

In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
