'One must forgive one's enemies — but not before they are hanged.'
Before a UKSF team moved into the mountains of Afghanistan on operations, the Commanding Officer read them this poem. It set the tone.
"Mine is a most peaceable disposition.
My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one's enemies...
but not before they have been hanged."
— Heinrich Heine
The poem does not dress itself up. The opening is almost pastoral — a cottage, milk, butter, flowers. Then the trees. Heine understood the distance between wanting a quiet life and the cost of securing one. So do the men this garment was made for.
