Deep. Very well concieved. the excecution of it could be better but that's hard to specify. The repeition of the word "why" is a distinct motif that is strong. However, it is also a bit tedious in the long run.
Keep writing! grunt brigade is presently my favorite series. You seem to be out shining Wado.
That's right, Wado, the pressure's on! O-O;

Very good! You know, I love to read all kinds of literature, since I am a person who specializes in this topic. In all of my time, this is one of the most glorious, excellent, fantastic, glamorous, admirable, inspiring, motivating, lavish, descriptive, grand poems I have ever read. All I have to say is... it is perfecto.

Yeah, that's where I got the title from, the movie, the battle, the Crimean War and Tennyson's poem:
"Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
'Charge for the guns!' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred."
-Lord Alfred Tennyson
I love that poem.

No, I meant did you get your Idea for Charge of the Grunt Brigade from Charge of the Light Brigade?
It was a show on History channel about fighters in.....I forget what war.

Yeah, that's what I say when I'm too lazy to write out the title or even just Grunt Brigade.

*Takes a bow* I'm so glad you liked it. And I'm so sad that COTGB Part 3 didn't get posted. Where'd it go? Any guesses?
