Exactly: the normal saying would be if the second part contained no word "soldier", that would then be the most general expression. But here in Chrilly's version the realm is narrowed to the notion soldier. Since Bruce is no soldier ... but you can't understand all this. It's a typical European cynism. > >> In Europe we >>have a culture of such "political" art on postcards where you show a photo of >>something, either change the original photo and/or add a subline.

I said "political art". > but you clearly do NOT understand Americans, or American politics, or >how to win support for your ideas from Americans. Was that my intention? I write my opinions but I do have no interest in winning support from specific groups. In case of doubt I write from a European standpoint. If USA Americans can't understand - well, tough for them! But nothing sensational. And surely no reason to make contortions... > If you are trying to win >support among Americans for ending the war, YOU ARE FAILING!
