Don't Feel Your Touch (4:48):cry:



by Mr. Bruce Cockburn smokin



a good cover version i found :wink:


cuz I couldn't find one by Bruce ohwell



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSojeMTSEk&feature=related drinker



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Don't Feel Your Touch (4:48)
In front of a newborn moon pushing up its glistening dome.
i kiss these departing companions -- take the next step alone.
I just said goodnight to the closest thing i have to home
oh -- and the night grows sharp and hollow
as a junky's craving vein
and i don't feel your touch, again.

To be held in the heart of a friend is to be a king
but the magic of a lover's touch is what makes my spirit sing
when you're caught up in this longing all the beauties of the Earth don't mean a thing.
oh -- and the night grows clear and empty
as a lake of acid rain
and i don't feel your touch, again.

The last light of day crept away like a drunkard after gin.
A hint of chanted prayer now whispers from the fresh night wind
to this shattered heart and soul held together by habit and skin
and to this half-gnawed bone of apprehension buried in my brain
as i don't feel your touch, again.

(Toronto, June 1987)

"If I Had A Rocket Launcher"


BY Bruce Cockburn



here comes the helicopter -- second time today
everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
how many kids they've murdered only god can say
if i had a rocket launcher...i'd make somebody pay.

i don't believe in guarded borders and i don't believe in hate
i don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
and when i talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
if i had a rocket launcher...i would retaliate

on the rio lacantun one hundred thousand wait
to fall down from starvation -- or some less humane faith.
cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
if i had a rocket launcher...i would not hesitate

i want to raise every voice -- at least i've got to try.
every time i think about it water rises to my eyes.
situation desperate echoes of the victims cry
if i had a rocket launcher...some son of a ***** would die

Vegetius
Vegetius Quotes/Quotations
Flavius Vegetius Renatus
Roman writer and military strategist
Author of Epitoma rei militari(s) (a summary of military matters)
Lived: around 390



I can't guarantee that these Vegetius quotations are correct or true,
but I have tried to verify as many of the quotes from Vegetius as possible.
Please contact me if you find any errors in the Vegetius quotes,
have some additional information about the quotes
or if you know any quotations from Vegetius that's not listed here.



Flavius Vegetius Renatus Quotes

"Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked
them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill,
when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a
point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that
whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is
delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is
delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it.
... However, they are given that double-weight shield frame and foil, so
that when the recruit takes up real, lighter weapons, as if freed from the
heavier weight, he will fight in greater safety and faster. But when field
training was ended through negligence and laxity, the equipment (which the
soldiers seldom put on) began to be seen as heavy."
- Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390)

"Si vis pacem, para bellum"
("If you want peace, prepare for war!")
- Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"Valor is superior to number"
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"The courage of the soldier is heightened by the knowledge of his
profession"
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of
discipline"
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Another Version:

"Men are seldom born brave but they acquire courage through training and discipline -
a handful of men inured to war proceed to certain victory;
while on the contrary numerous armies
of raw and undisciplined troops
are but multitudes of men dragged to the slaughter."
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"To seduce the enemies soldiers from their allegiance
and encourage them to
surrender is of special service,

for an adversary is more hurt by desertion
than by slaughter."
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"When men find they must inevitably perish,
they willingly resolve to die with their comrades and with their arms in their hands"
-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

"Opportunity in war is usually of greater value than bravery....
Terrain is often of more value than bravery....
Bravery is of more value than numbers."

-Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel Quotes
"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it."
- Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

"Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare
yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue
and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your
subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of
voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to
hide."
- Field Marshall Erwin Rommel

"One must not judge everyone in the world by his qualities as a soldier:
otherwise we should have no civilization."
- Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

"I would rather he had given me one more division"

"The art of concentrating strength at one point, forcing a breakthrough, rolling up and securing the flanks on either side, and then penetrating like lightning deep into his rear, before the enemy has time to react."
-Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

"In a man to man fight
the winner is the one
who puts an extra round
in his magazine"

I can't guarantee that these quotations are correct or true,

Please contact me if you find any errors in the Norman Schwarzkopf quotes,
have some additional information about the Schwarzkopf quotes
or if you know any quotations from Norman Schwarzkopf that's not listed here.



General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Quotes
"I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future armed conflict will not
take the form of huge land armies facing each other across extended battle
lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for that matter, as
they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the field of battle."

- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a
strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a
tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he's a
great military man-I want you to know that."

-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf 1991

"We need to destroy not attack,
not damage, not surround.
I want to destroy the Republican Guard"

-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf 1991

"I feel that retired generals
should never miss an opportunity
to remain silent concerning matters
for which they are no longer responsible."
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"If we do go to war,
psychological operations are going to be absolutely a
critical,
critical part of any campaign that we must get involved in."
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"The mothers and fathers of America
will give you their sons and daughters...

with the confidence in you that you
will not needlessly waste their lives.

And you dare not.

That's the burden the mantle
of leadership places upon you.

You could be the person who gives the orders
that will bring about the deaths of thousands
and thousands of young men and women.

It is an awesome responsibility.

You cannot fail. You dare not fail..."

- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

From a speech in Eisenhower Hall Theater to the Corps of Cadets on 15 May 1991 by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"....If you leave here with the word DUTY implanted in your mind; if you leave here with the word HONOR carved in your soul; if you leave here with love of COUNTRY stamped on your heart, then you will be a twenty-first century leader worthy...of the great privilege and honor...of leading...the sons and daughters of America..."
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

From a speech in Eisenhower Hall Theater to the Corps of Cadets on 15 May 1991 by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"Yesterday at the beginning of the ground war Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world. Today they have the second largest army in Iraq"

- Attributed to General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
Under a news conference during Desert Storm
