Creatures of Prometheus

At the end of WW2 General Clay 

wanted to attack the Russians.

Eisenhower imprisoned millions 

of demobbed German soldiers 

without any food - water  shelter  

or - personal effects - in fields 

by the Rhine to die of exposure.

General Patton absurdly toted 

a revolver at the hip and gloried 

in a nickname 'blood and guts'.

General McArthur loved himself 

narcissistically playing Caesar.

General Petraeus was  masterful 

as a stud and well connected. 

General Powell lied to the U N 

that Saddam had weapons 

of mass destruction - to permit 

George Bush to invade Iraq.
