I don’t know if I can take any more of the war stuff. The wonderful M. Palin’s BBC doc last night on those killed after the “Great War” armistice…… I wept.A French trench-runner was last to cop it with less than a minute to go, carrying a message that it was all over and there was hot soup to celebrate, under a nearby bridge….
The US doboys were particularly reckless about ignoring the end-of-war, but a haunting comment came from their grand fromage Pershing who said the ceasefire idea was a disaster, the huns should be driven right back into Berlin and made to beg for the right to sign any agreement put before them. Otherwise, he said, we’ll be doing this all over again.
So happens another armistice-hater was a young Cpl. A. Hitler, who wept on hearing of it and pledged his life to do something about it, which obviously included a moustache makeover.
It seems from the last century that staggering mortality-rates are a measure of a real war, which makes our our ME posturing even more laughable except to those grieving and outfits selling bullets and bombs to morally bankrupt customers like our Canadian Government, which will withdraw troops from Afghanistan as part of its political agenda.
Deaths before then? Do they care?
What will it take for these silly-bugger games to STOP?
Great question.
Answer: only God in Heaven knows, and He doesn’t appear to care.
Barrack is sending more soldiers and and more soldiers will die.
Do they care? Apparently not.
Do WE care…I think so…but we need to let THEM know.
