TREVANIAN Quote About The American

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The American can be brave

and self-sacrificing

in only short bursts.

 

That is why

Americans are better at war

than at responsible peace.

They can face danger

but not inconvenience.

They toxify their air 

to kill mosquitos.

They drain their energy sources

to provide themselves

with electric carving knives.

We must remember

there was always Coca-Cola

for the soldiers

in Viet Nam.
