*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Impressions on hearing Black Vietnam Vets tell war stories on WBAI, New York. Listen! Disembodied voices relate a soulless sequence of death and horror, events we railed against, we stratolounger ideologues, lunchtime moralists and fairweather dissidents. Heartrending words, numbly droned by killers, rapists, pederasts, torturers.. and confused, sorrowing, ignorant humans all, fighting for.... freedom ? for who ? us ? from what ? boredom ? Listen. Pain, guilt, fear, questions. Right and wrong fade into muted terror. But soon, ignorant sympathy flows, soothing, easing... "Jeeze, put on some music, will you ?"
