  • Tommy

    By Rudyard Kipling, 1892

    I went into a public- 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,

    The publican 'e up an sez, "We serve no red-coats here."

    The girls behind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,

    I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I

    O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy go away";

    But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play-

  • Really symptomatic of wider problems in the US. Remember the "Gulf Syndrome"? The toxic health hazard of 9/11? Katrina?

    It's indeed shameful. No wonder the US Army has to resort to - hm - unconventional recruitment methods in order to fill their ranks.

  • "Oh its Tommy this and Tommy that and Tommy stay away!

    But it's pleased to step aside sir, when the drums begin to play." Part of a poem written in England about a hundred or so years ago. It means kick the soldiers aside during peace time but put them out front when the war starts. It's an old old story whose time has come.
