    Timothy - Bebop-o

    Back in the 70s in New York I was on the Seventh Avenue IRT and a wild-haired and pants-stained guy sitting across from me was talking to himself. "War is hell!" he said. "War is hell! War is hell!" Then after a pause, he said, "Want to know how much of a hell war is? Well, look at ME! I'm fucking NUTS!"

    You might say this is about the only legitimate "insight" that war brings, assuming you've survived it.
