But i wonder if this thought went through some minds, " Why is my country ordering me to massacre innocent men women and children?" That would and should prompt one to question ultimate patriotism


OLD BRITISH ARMY SONG

 

I don't want to join the army
I don't want to go to war
I'd rather hang around Piccadilly Underground
Living of the earnings of a high class lady
I don't want a bayonet up me A****ole
I don't want me b****ocks shot away
I'd rather be in England
Merry merry England
And fornicate my bleepin life away.

 

(but they went, all the same - and many of them never came back.)
