Slaughterhouse 5 Kurt Vonnegut After finishing this book, the truth of it leapt out at me. How many Billy Pilgrims are out there? Men and women coming back from Afghanistan, from a world of war to normal life. The world is still in a confused and unstable mess. No lessons have been learned. There is still killing and lying - robbing people of life and livelihood. The people in power have lost the vision to see the mess they are creating. The few that can are labelled as not forward thinking - not seeing the big picture, or even idiots.The future health problems of service people and their families hardly bear thinking about.
