What a waste of Army Dreamers

April 9th, 2005, By Duncan Gough

// Should have been a father, But he never even made it to his twenties.
// What a waste, Army dreamers.

Not everything goes your own way.

I hear they’re still editing your entry in Who’s Who.

I’ve heard about this for some time now:

Ministers plan to privatise unit overseeing arms sales abroad.

Timing is an instinct. If you are reading this, if you see the inevitable conflict that the privitasation of arms sales is going to produce, if it is as clear to you as it is to me, then what should you do?

I’m reminded, unsurprisingly, of some lyrics.

Tears o'er a tin box. Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know, Like a chicken with a fox, He couldn't win the war with ego.

With thanks to Kate Bush, Army Dreamers was relevant some time ago. It’s even more so now.

She’s an intelligent woman too

Indeed, Googling for ‘Army Dreamers’ pulls back some interesting links, such as this:

So, I hope that I’ve drawn your attention to what must constitue a serious threat to individual safety. Without wanting to be overly facetious, what next? Clearly we must out-source our Nukes.
