The Pendragon's Hall

The Pendragon grows weary of the world. A terrorist is feted in New York City on the campus of one of our most prestigous education facilities. A bunch of clowns are running for president. Hence, the long delay. One of the more amusing pastimes comes from seeing the disparities between real world and the liberal wonderland everyone thinks we should live in. I will pass up on the opportunity to speculate on what Bill Clinton's latest book "Giving" is about. He does know how to give of himself. There is another book making the rounds, purported to be the memoirs of a soldier, entitled "The War I Always Wanted." It's only liberals who conceive of war being glorious and then get shocked to find out how brutal it is. Bush and all his ilk warned from the beginning how war would be. We saw the images of 9/11. Plus we have numerous memoirs of soldiers from two world wars, from Korea and Vietnam and the first Gulf War, from the Civil War, the Revolution etc. to tell us how terrible war really is. And movies don't even try to whitewash it anymore. Battles are gruesomely portrayed on the big screen. So if any soldier went off to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan with ideals of a glorious war, they really have only themselves to blame. Maybe they should have read more books.
