Military Madness

Tell me, please: What do We the People have to do for peace?

Military Madness

In an upstairs room in blackpool
By the side of a Northern Sea
The army had my father
And my mother was having me

Military madness
Was killing my country
Solitary sadness
Comes over me

And after the school was over
And I moved to the other side
I found a different country
But I never lost my pride

Military madness
Was killing the country
Solitary sadness
Creeps over me

And after the wars are over
And the body count is finally filed
I hope that man discovers
What's driving the people wild

Military madness
Is killing your country
So much sadness
Between you and me

War, war, war
War, war, war

--- Graham Nash, Songs for Beginners (1971)

I respect the men and women in uniform on behalf of my country.
How I regard the leadership and individuals in the ranks at times is another thing.

Know your BFEE: Money Trumps Peace. Always.

Is the money that important?

[formercia]

1. It's the power that money brings that's important.

The power to change the World, for good or evil.

[immune]

2. Stop volunteering to kill made up enemies.

I'm waiting for them to call for war and nobody shows up.
