Subject: RE: BS: As predicted: Quagmire Iraq
As Don Frith Said ..."There are no longer any American troops being wounded in Iraq. Now they are "injured." Listen closely to the news and you will be hard pressed to hear the word "wounded." "Wounded" conjures up a different image than "injured,"...

So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, and maimed,
And they shipped us back home to Australia.
The legless, the armless, the blind and insane,
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla.
And when our ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me
To grieve, and to mourn and to pity.
And the Band played Waltzing Matilda
As they carried us down the gangway,
But nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared,
Then they turned all their faces away.


Same shit, different day!
