The horror

Mike Whitney writes on the predictable consequence of suicide among those who have fought in the Iraq war. Those who have read Suicide in the Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon, or even seen The Deer Hunter",
this can't be a big surprise.

A little Wilfred Owen to remind us:

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, -
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."
