Words of Wisdom.

I’ve mentioned before that I feel little more than contempt for most of those empty-headed sound bites that are supposed to give you a new and better outlook on life. I think the one that irritates me most is the one that runs:

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

I wonder whether anybody has ever said that to a member of the poor bloody infantry who’s freshly returned from a hideous war zone afflicted with a particularly bad case of PTSD. And I further wonder which of them managed to survive the following ten minutes.
