Wishful thinking.
Consider the source.
It is the job of any soldier to make the enemy die for his country. If he can’t make him die, make him bleed - a lot so that more soldiers will have to take care of him.
Stop the bleeding? Where’s the charge of the 600? Out into the fray for the Happy Warrior (ha!). Is he enjoying the Get Well Soon cards and letters too much back there at the aid station?
Why are the lib outlets all lying about this? He was his usual deeply uncomfortable, hunched, ticked-off self. His beady little eyes are a study in pinched anger.
