I Know the Redline
Seems to me a veteran from when he enlists, to when he falls, shouldn’t be asked, once again, to wait behind any redlines. Understand that order must be maintained , that of course is the name of the game. But isn’t there a better way, then to draw another line in the sand, delaying their day. Why not let them move on their own, to a waiting room to the left or right. Give them back a little independence lost, along with their sight. Why not remind them in a subtle, but meaningful way, they have left behind, the regimen, of their bygone day.
