using innocense to fight wars because no one else will
1 personnes sur 1 ont jugé cet avis utile. Kurt vonnegut took decades to write this book because it took decades for him to find the truth that lies so deeply inside such events. Kurt takes poetic license to reveal the experience of war from a young man who had grown up in the midwest and traveled to, what seemed like, an alien planet where time has no meaning as we are told to understand it. He sees his life as if it existed all in one moment, beginning to end and he as its' ever present spectator.
He was a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany near the end of the war when that city was fire bombed by British and U.S. planes. Dresden was a city that had no military significance and so most of germanys' population had gone there to seperate themselves from a war that no longer was winnable. Kurt had been taken prisoner and sent to dresden to provide labor for the towns function while most of germanys men were fighting on the fronts.
He along with other U.s. soldiers were given an underground slaughter house to sleep in at night. When the bombers came that is where they went, slaughter house five. When the bombing had ended, they exited the underground womb to find a wasteland. There are estimates that over 175,000 civilians were burned alive in that bombing which some feel was retribution for the V-1 and V-2 bombings of London. Vonnegut lived those days upon that alien landscape digging bodies out of the ruble for burial. He saw the war birthed horrors that we somehow find honor and heroism within. He lived through what war really is and could not understand why this truth was not being told. His book on Dresden is still one of the few ever written and maybe will ever be written that provides a first hand view of what is not heroic or honorable and never will be, if it was we would fight no more forever.

The book never came. I am still waiting
I ordered three books by Richmond P. Hobson Jr. The rancher takes a wife, The Grass Beyond the Mountains and Nothing too good for a cowboy. The first two books arrived but the book: Nothing too Good for a Cowboy never came. How long do I wait until I can request my money to be returned?

Good but not good enough
I have used this product before and it worked well but this time I bought a larger style because I had a larger cable but it was not large enough and would not stretch to meet the cable. So, in the end, I could not use this product.
