One of my all-time favorite New Yorker cartoons (1971) ..

Again, the more things change the more they stay the same. There will be a lot of lip service to "pulling out" of Iraq-nam between now and November. But like the biggest pitfall of the coitus interruptus method of contraception, the man is lying about withdrawal. Bu$h will fuck us again this year, too.

2. My father said Vietnam was so beautiful, it took his breath away.

He loved the people there, too, spoke of them fondly. He taught them English because he picked up their language so quickly. (Very smart guy.)

But, still, the entire Vietnam experience f*cked him up. Turned his brown hair gray in one year. He didn't kid around anymore, rarely smiled, never laughed. And he became mean-spirited.

There are casualties at home that are never counted, among the families whose fathers and brothers went to war.
