about when someone asks them what ft like theyre supposed to go all thinlipped and grim and change the subject i remember how dis gusted i was with this business when i came home from overs i someone would ask how was it over there anywayf id settle back prepared to tell him for hours when hed add but i guess you dont want to talk about it leaving me there with my mouth hanging open i was dying to

swamp and women have disapproved since mrs og sat back in the corner of the cave wishing hed stop inviting that riffraff around to drink homebrew and tell lies about what they did in the war men have been writing and read ing about war since they learned to write and read from homer to writers have looked with horror and fascination on the ever intriguing business of he race wading in blood shakespeare accepted war as part of life and if i recall there was a good bit of smiting of htttitm philistines and others in the bible f so if tm to have a book in the bathroom far better it be a
