His was not the only hollowed out experience that I have read of. It changed people and societies in ways that were not always for the best.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-69263443333182372792021-11-11T08:14:20.616-08:002021-11-11T08:14:20.616-08:00We are tormented by our "betters" at eve...We are tormented by our "betters" at every turn. <br />The new international order has no need for proles, and never did.Just Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610753621455763667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-54766289290394918172021-11-11T07:18:23.846-08:002021-11-11T07:18:23.846-08:00I think of my own grandfather, TB.

At 17 he was a wounded hollowed out veteran at 17. <br /><br />He participated in the lunacy of of WW1, and had to watch it all over again in WW2. After that it was an endless procession of bush wars and police actions.<br /><br />Today I see provocations every week. Every couple of months, some are blatant acts of war.<br /><br />I find myself beginning to think much as my grandfather did.
