Waltzing Matilda by the 3 Irish Tenors, 8 minutes.
Tells of a Healthy Aussie going off to war. Comes back legless and unable to dance WM as he once did. Made me cry every time I hear it.

War is the shits.

1. "The Band Played Walting Matilda"
Lyrics, and a RealAudio recording, by Eric Bogle, the original artist, I think.

2. +Very sad and should be heard by all America... Maybe they less willing to
send our strong /brave to the horrors of war. Its the OLD WAY and the Bushies are still in it....pity. Honor/Pity our boys who come back wounded and in flag draped boxes. Honor them for their commitment/courage, pity them for they are being used for a Political agenda unworthy of our blood/treasure.

3. How will you be able to?
Hasn't Bush said that there will be no TV images of dead US soldiers?
