1. In the beginning there was chaos and the
chaos was the Infantry, for the Infantry was alone.
2. And fear was with the Infantry and they
cried unto the Lord saying, "Lord, save us for we are afraid."
3. And the Lord heard their grunts and set
some of the Infantry on beasts of burden and these he called Cavalry,
and the Cavalry became Armour.
4. And when the Lord had seen what he had done
he laughed saying, "Well, you can't win them all."
5. The Infantry and the Armour again cried
out to the Lord saying, "Lord, save us for we are afraid."
And the Lord heard their cried and decided to end their weepings.
6. And the Lord said unto them, "Lo and
behold, I send you a race of men nobel in heart and spirit."
And the Lord created the Gunners.
7. And the Lord said unto the Infantry and
Armour, "When it is dark, the Gunners shall light your way."
8. And when you need smoke, there shall be
smoke, and when you need HE, WP, H & I and counterbattery
fire, all this ye shall have."
9. And the Lord gave the Gunners big guns and
field guns, and the Infantry and Armour were jealous for they
had naught.
10. And the Infantry cried out saying, "Lord,
thou hast created the Infantry as Queen of Battles, but now thou
hast made the Gunners King of Battles and well knowest thou what
the King does to the Queen."
11. And the Lord replied, "Right on!"
12. And the Lord gave unto the Artillery rockets
and missiles and, best of all, nukes. And when the Infantry and
Armour saw this they fell to their knees in wonder saying, "Surely
God is on the side of the greatest - THE GUNNERS."
13. And the Lord sayeth, "You got that
right."
Now abideth Infantry, Armour, and Artillery; but the greatest of these is...
Hallelujah!
