Something curious to this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the
assumption behind thread has never been defined. One can only assume
what we are expected to assume?
The reigning assumption du jour seems to be that apes should receive
their allotment of bananas and not allowed near typewriters lest they
accept the risk of one day writing Hamlet. Therefore, to give a poem to
a military cadet is a great disturbance in the Force, y'might say--an
insult to the order of things in which all soldiers are morons and all
poets are men and women of the highest moral standing.
