War Pigs


"Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction"

Those are the opening lyrics to one of the greatest protest songs of all time. If you google the lyrics for the entire song, you'll have to agree.

Looks like we're going to have to dust off some of those great songs protesting a war that should have never happened. All those poor men and women - over 53,000 of them dead - along with all the physically and mentally maimed souls that made it back alive. I had two brothers included in that group. It still breaks my heart to think about those times.

Now we have a new administration being loaded down with extreme right wing war hawks. The last time we had a president that surrounded himself with war hawks, we went searching for weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist and we had to mourn over a whole new generation of flag covered coffins and the thousands upon thousands of damaged men and women returning from the desert. Donnie himself has already said we should just bomb the sh*t out of 'em and now there is already talk about how regime change is the only solution to the "Iran problem".

Looks like we're going to have a whole new generation of young men and women to break our hearts. Assuming, of course, there will be any of us left with a crazy man having his finger on the nuclear trigger.  Till next time - R
