Cable Wars
December 9, 2012
Ben loves war documentaries especially those with Alexander riding Bucephalus into hostile flanks, and Washington rousing frozen untrained troops, and photogenic Grant and Lee posing before ordering slaughter of several hundred thousand young men, and grainy Great War footage showing death in fetid trenches, and better films of proud performers Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Roosevelt, and Churchill, and fifty million supporting corpses.
Ben’s excited about new war until starts then doesn’t want to see any more and tries to stop it, pushing off button doesn’t work neither does unplugging set, even kicking screen doesn’t stop killing which can’t stand since every soldier in documentary is him.
