Yes he was taken prisoner in Dresden, thus Slaughterhouse 5 , if you havent read the book or seen the movie then do so.

Alf, you clearly haven't read the book (or perhaps you have and it's time for a re-read). Vonnegut was in the infantry and was captured at the Battle of the Bulge. Part of the book was his own war experience.

[Mailman]

A lot of people have died, a lot of wars have been fought to afford you the luxury to be a pacifist to criticise the most powerful nation in history, to sneer at the values of consumerism, to enjoy your poetry and to listen to music, and to spout meaningless cliches. You are happy to take Alf, but you like many others who have values that go beyond the ceaseless pursuit of power and wealth, you wont actually sacrifice anything to make changes. The free market is fine but its success is measured in cash and power.. yes you criticise it, but criticism is no self sacrifice is it?

Jesus (or Alah, Im an equal opportunity insulter ) Dodgy...you just brought tears to my eyes!
