Good ol' U2

Something I had quoted way back in the day ... still pertinent today. Just change "Irish Americans" into whatever you want ...

I'm had enough of Irish Americans, who haven't been to their country in 20 to 30 years, come up to me, and talk about the resistance . . . the revolution back home . . . and the glory of the revolution and the glory of dying for the revolution.

Fuck the revolution. They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution.

What's the glory, in taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children. Where's the glory in that.

Where's the glory in bombing a rememberance day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day. Where's the glory in that. To leave them dying, or crippled for life, or dead, under the rubble of the revolution, that the majority of the people in my country don't want.
