I happily plead guilty to be being cranky. Absolutely.

Does this mean you agree you are vapid? Actually, I think 'tepid' is what I said, as in luke warm, but vapid is okay too, and I might have said it.

And Kahl, of course every soldier accepts that they are liable to die. Perhaps soldiers should acccept that their lives are liable to be thrown away for political expediency or because suits that never served don't want to admit failure. Unfortunately, I think lots of soldiers join the army thinking thir service to their country is more meaningful, and find their lives being exteniguished in for what seems to many to be meaningless, pointless, or in some cases even flatly wrong, it embitters them.
