#1 Burial at Arlington? Good, he deserves it.

Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld and Rice should be there.

#3 Mauldin was an American treasure. Too bad his work isn't taught in American schools. But I guess he was too pre-post-modernist...

"I read someplace that the American boy is not capable of hate. Maybe we don't share the deep, traditional hatred of the French or the Poles or the Yugoslavs toward the krauts, but you can't have friends killed without hating the men who did it. It makes the dogfaces sick to read articles by people who say, 'It isn't the Germans, it's the Nazis.' Our army has seen few actual Nazis, except for when they threw in special SS divisions. We have seen the Germans - the youth and the men and the husbands and the fathers of Germany, and we know them for a ruthless, cold, cruel, and powerful enemy."

RIP, Bill. I hope the Fields are more Elysian than you could imagine at Anzio, and that the vino flows unchecked.

#5 Bill and Charles Shultz are having a root beer in some French cafe, and flirting with the waitress.
