THE TWENTY-THIRD ARMY REGULATION


The Army is my shepherd;
I shall not think.

It alloweth me to lie down on essential jobs,

It leadeth me blindly,
it destroyeth my initiative.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness,
I shall fear no censure.

It maketh me to believe in great falsehoods;
It filleth my head with false securities;
My inefficiency runneth over.

Surely the Army shall care for me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in a fool's paradise forever.
