"… As the reasons for the carnage cut
Their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And feed it with our babies…"

Sat near them during Dinner at NYC
Hard Rock. They noticed I was eyeballing them. I happened to have Powerslave with me.
Record shops in NYC were awesome to visit. They finished dinner came over said thank you for letting us eat in peace. Signed my album and left.
There was a commercial back in the seventies, I don’t remember the particulars, that had two old men duking it out in an empty field. It was about just that! It was entertaining, watching the old fucks fight! 😆
When I was in high school and some teacher would threaten to send me to the office I would respond with - fuck off, I will end up in Vietnam after I graduate.
The draft ended in 1973
I graduated in 1974
The war ended in 1975
Dad flew B-24 bombers from Italy during WWII with George McGovern.
McGovern lived The War, he knew.
btw, in WWII, more aircrew were lost than infantry, flying in war is exceptionally hazardous.
