Subject: RE: BS: Winning Friends in Iraq
The last line, the laughter through it all, says it all "They should have known they were working with the marines". What's the mentality here? A bit sick, this is beyoud gallow's humor, which is a survival coping mechanism. This is what I'd call a "red Flag song" & the military should take notice. Seems their choice of outlets is this song & the barrel of their guns. A sad state of affairs this new type of new military music is, beats a march(sick pun). A new chapter in war pychology & the affecton it's music(there's a workshop in here, somewhere).
Hi Ron, you asked, I think it's a sick reflection of a sick society & it's ills.
