A bit from my old mate's song

Eric Bogle


The suffering the sorrow the glory the shame the killing the dying it was all done in vain
for William McBride It all happened again and again and again and again and again (repeat depending on what year it is)

Did they beat the drum slowly did they sound the fife lowly did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down
Did the the bugle sing the the last post and chorus did the pipes play the fleur in the forest.......



When old (their prostate is bigger than their brain) men in power stop sending their best young to die uselessly and then these same people are trading happily a few years later with the enemy (you can be shot in time of war for trading with the enemy) I will deign to take up arms to defend their wealth!


Remember there are only two sins Hypocrisy and Ignorance

These same two sins are happening now!

Ask any veteran how many promises were kept!

This is happening now and will also apply to our current forces deployed overseas.

I will watch carefully.

List of standard excuses.
1. It was not an official war zone.
2. You were outside the three mile limit (Navy)
3. and it goes on

The thing that rankles with me these men gave everything, only to be told when and if they came back by some twit that they did not meet the criteria.
