Fail. Wrong war. The quote is related to the 79-89 Soviet intervention where it is said that an entire generation of eighteen year olds was lost.

Fail. Wrong war. .

I knew that. And what did ole Rudyard have to say about the region too?

So tell us why Barry is different..and now its OK?

I knew that.

I meant I knew who/when the quote originated. I was there in '87..for that matter. When were you?

I just wanted to know why you think Barry decided to ignore wholesale the author of the quote..and Kipling..and so many others who advised against ever doing what Barry decided to do
