Thread Name: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever?
Subject: RE: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever?
Just this morning I happened to be listening to Leslie Fish sing "Through a Glass Darkly" by Gen. George S. Patton, realized to my amazement that he was *that* one, and looked it up: here. He believed he was the reincarnation of a line of big-time killers, and he wrote poems that described the psychopathology of war from within, with pride. Perhaps some of the others should be set to music. With prowar songs like these, who needs antiwar songs?
