re: #149 Dark_Falcon

Edelweiss was not only Austria’s national song but the flower itself is the symbol of Germany’s gebirgsjager, the tough mountain infantry.

I can appreciate mountain infantry. On the back side of the Sierra is a Marine camp that trains in the worst of winter weather at altitude. I’ve spent weeks in those conditions on skis, but I was taking it easy and it’s still tough. I can’t imagine what they have to do.
