A thing of beauty..
Una Experiencia Que pocos seres humanos conocen es la de treparse a un avión y comandarlo; entregar el envío. Hacerlo cotidianamente. Y no pensar mucho en ello. No encuentro muchas referencias en inernet respecto a pilotos de la fuerza aerea norteamericana y sus psiquiatras. Son persona que cuando aparecen retratados son la imágen viva de la contentez (smugness) y de la satisfacción de pertenecer a un selecto club de intocables...
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them its all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he's still behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with God you're never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Sky pilot.....sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never, never, never reach the sky
You're soldiers of God you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell
In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words
"Thou shalt not kill"
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
You never, never, never reach the sky.
Esta canción de Eric Burdon presupone que los muchachos todavía tienen una conciencia activa que los hace regresar con remordimiento del frente de batalla. No tenemos evidencia de ello. La fuerza aerea debe de ser un lugar en donde buena parte del entrenamiento ha de estar canalizado a impedir que sus pilotos desarrollen la capacidad de tener juicio sobre la moralidad de las órdenes que cumplen.
Vean esta pequeña pelicula.
Que por supuesto nunca ha sido mostrada en señal de televisión abierta por razones mas que obvias. Al momento de incrustar el video, el contador de visitas dice que ese video ha sido visto 33,000 veces. No un público masivo ciertamente.
Pero helo ahí. Para tu contemplación.
