Siguiendo con el viejo adagio que dice: "Las mentes pequeñas discuten personas, las mentes medias, eventos y las grandes mentes ideas", no voy a polemizar con nadie. Sólo digo que gracias al topic de RESERVISTA, muchos vimos una luz de esperanza en nuestra vocación patriótica.
Algo que la Armada debería fomentar (sé que lo hace) y promover (la RNFS es un ejemplo de ello) no puede ser nunca objeto de sanciones, ostracismo y vergüenza...
Y a propósito de nuestra Armada, me permito un off topic que vale la pena... dando vueltas por la web encontré una canción escrita por un grupo irlandés The Wolfe Tones que se llama: "Admiral William Brown". Les dejo la letra y el link con la traducción. Pensar que esta canción la hicieron no argentinos debería avergonzarnos...
LYRIC
From a county Mayo town
came a man of great renown
As a sailor and a soldier was none bolder
He went to America at an early age they say
As a cabin boy to sail the wide world over
Then adventure took him south
to the De la Plata mouth
San Martin was on the route in Argentina
So three whaling ships he bought
and Brazil and Spain he fought
And freedom then he sought for Argentina
Now Admiral William Brown
you're a man of courage shown
And in battles fought the odds were all against you
But your Irish heart was strong
and in memory still lives on
And in Ireland there are some that don't forget you
On St. Patrick's day it's told you
had many victories bold
You defeated all invaders thugs and bullys
Then through the Pampas rose
and you found a happy home
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas"
He had heard of Irish hands in noble gallant bands
That helped to free the land called Argentina
He had heard with great acclaim
the Patricios name and fame
When in 1806 the British came for slaughter
And to this very day in the Argentine they say
The English ran away from Buenos Aires
To the islands further down and they
took them for the crown
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas"
We remember William Brown
and his land of great renown
He, invader of the islands from your country
When in 1833 were by pirates forced to flee
And in Ireland sure we know the story fully
And the people that went too
to the Argentine when new
To escape the English laws
and wars and famine
They had proved a loyal crew just like
all the Irish do
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas"
The old colonial days and cruel English ways
With her thunder plunder we will teach the natives
For the Brits are going to war
just like Whitelocke didbefore
With her ships and guns and drums
and flags and banners
In the Empire days of old when they murdered for gold
And paraded it around the streets of London.
Oh no human rights were given
to the natives dead or living
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas"
In the Argentine he died Father Fahey by his side
'57 was the year his country mourned him
A hero of the nation he's remembered with elation
Throughout the world
where freedom still abounds
And the Southern Cross take note
where bold Willie Bullfin wrote
The Irish still support you Argentina
With the Empire tumbling down
let no Paddies back the crown
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas
