What do you void listening?

...indeed not -- it really hurts me when these military actions leave people with no roof, table and bread on it. Didn't you realize that we do little to no help to those who left with no government and having civil wars to decide who's going to be in charge?
I care for everyone no matter religion or color. WW2 had an intention to protect and liberate civilians from fascism.
Not only WW2 would piss me off indeed!
Wars post and including Vietnam had a completely opposite direction. Who did we liberate?? Divided Yugoslavia? Civil wars in the Mid-East? Messed-up Iraq? Livia?
Yea I don't want to use my tax dollar to get someone I don't want to get killed or robbed and that's my point.

I understand your point, and I have no problem with it. I was just saying, that public / world opinion on American intervention, is viewed as good, or bad, depending upon whose ox is being gored.

Back to regular programming.

04-24-14: Schubert
One day coming in from a hard patrol in Vietnam I heard the great Swedish tenor Jussi Borling sing the "Un bel Di" aria from Madam Butterfly on short-wave from Australia, it froze me like a deer in the headlights.

Schubert, are you sure you have that correct? I've never heard of "Un Bel Di Vedremo" from "Madama Butterfly" being sung by a male. Might you have been referring to "Come Un Bel Di Di Maggio" from "Andrea Chenier"?

Best regards,

Sorry I said anything, now.

Of course you are right Al, I had just listened to Bjorling's great Butterfly with Victoria De Los Angles and had a brain freeze.
The aria I should have said was "Nessun Dorma " .
Anyone who thinks that Pavarotti was the last word on this needs to listen to the aria sung by Bjorling, on You Tube if nothing else.
Meaning NO disrespect to the great Luciano, who I love, you will receive a master class on the difference between singing loud and singing good.
