"From my mother's sleep I fell into the state,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose."

"The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner"
by Randall Jarell

I guess I just got to thinking about how "neutral principle" applies war...  Anyway, I now have a web-site and this is my first test!
