And as well we know, that's not too difficult is it!
Remember the words of that fine American poet e e cummings (yes, no
capital letters) when he said:
"a politician is an arse, upon which everyone has sat except a man"
;-)
However, he was also extremely cynical about the US military as you will
see from the poem "i sing of olaf glad and big".
