ANTI-WAR

Famed croonerTony Bennett recently took to the airwaves to blast the U.S.government for starting wars around the world. During a radio interview to promote a new album, Bennett
said he was drafted by the U.S.Army to serve as an infantryman in World War II.
“The Germans were frightened,”said Bennett.“We were
frightened. Nobody wanted to kill anybody when we were on the line, but the weapons were so strong that it overcame us and everybody else. . . .The first time I saw a dead Ger-
man, that’s when I became a pacifist.”
