Too Much Is Plenty

Documentary on The War * More and more and more! America the Great. Nam to Watergate, With plenty more in store. Don't know if I'm pessimistic or just a shade realistic. Politicians lie. Easy sales. We buy! Perhaps a bit simplistic. It was "way back then." Sam took it on the chin. I'll watch it all. I did my call, But I wouldn't do it again *18 hour (!!!) television series about the Vietnam War currently showing on PBS

We ain't fought a war since WW 2 But deadly skirmishes ain't been a few When we fight one and win And become great again We'll preserve the Red, White, and Blue

You ave such a superlative humour yet beneath this one lies awful truth. I too am tired of this constant state of war. It is almost bordering on 'bread and circuses' to keep us diverted from the real goings on.
