"The Blood of Soldiers Lubricates the Gears of War"
A quote couldn't describe the process any better.

Yep Ive hardly heard a thing about the Vets. I can't even imagine what they have to deal with. I remember only being able to get a few hours sleep a night for the first few months. And the sh*t they have seen and done? Well I'm sure it makes things that much steeper. mellow wants some vet in his wet ass

I didnt know... I couldnt remember Jon English so I googled him. I know some of the songs. I'm going to hear some songs. A lot of music from the past seems to be more appropiate today!... In Argentina, we have a Tango called "Cambalache" from Enrique Santos Dicepolo. He wrote it perhaps 80 or 90 years ago... and it's so like today. I'm going to try to translate it (it's really difficult because of the slang)

I tranlslated the tango "Cambalache" (Swap). (forgive the lack of profesionalism in the translation)
That the world was and it will be a sh*t I already know, in the 510 and also in 2000, that there have always been thieves maquiavelic persons and swindled, happy and bitters, males and gays, but that the XX century is a deployment of insolent wickedness there is no longer who denies it we live flailed in a meringue and in the same mud all pawed. Today becomes to be the same thing to be rightous that traitor ignoramus, wise, thief generous, swindler Everything is the same, nothing is better, the same thing is an ass that a great professor, there are not waives neither rank, the immoral ones have even us; if one lives in the imposture and another steals in his ambition it's the same if he's a priest mattress maker, king of coarse, nerve or stowaway. what lack of respect, what violation to the reason, anyone is a gentleman anyone is a thief blended with Stavinsky there goes Don Bosco and the Miñón, Don Chicho and Napoleón, Carnera and San Martin, same as the disrespectful window of the swaps, life has mixed up and hurt by a sable without rivet you see the Bible cry next to a calefón. Century XX swap, problematic and febrile the one that doesn't cry, doesn't suckle and the one that doesn't steal is an idiot Let's go that there in the oven we're going to meet us don't think more, sit on a site that nobody cares if you were born honest if it is the same thing the one that works night one day like an ox; that the one that lives off the women that the one that kills, that the one that heals or the one that is outside the law.
Glossary Stavinsky: International swindler, committed suicide in the jail in 1934, where he was cause he's been the author of an enormous swindle when he falsified holding of the Municipal Credit of Bayona.
Don Bosco: San Juan Bosco, founder of the order Pía Society of Salecianos (religious order)
Miñón: in french "Baby", "darling". Name given to prostitutes.
DON CHICHO. They were two Argentineans mafiosos well-known as Big Don Chicho and little Don Chicho. The first one was Juan Galiffi whose crimes were discovered in 1932.y the second, Juan Morrone.
CARNERA. Primo Carnera, Heavy weight italian boxer who was world champion in 1933/34.
