2. Great video
Did you see the idiot comment at the end that said Genesis wrote it about Vietnam?

Some days I think people have no concept of history as if everything before today happened all at once. Pretty sure this song originally came out about 5-10 years after the fall of Saigon.

4. Yes, exactly
was sitting here thinking about it and suddenly saw the reagan puppet in my head and remembered it. Pretty good stuff actually.

6. Great Video
I am in agreement with everything except the demonization of the military. They serve us....the people not greedy oil execs or crooked polititians. They are honor bound to uphold their end of the contract. It is unfortunate that the ideals of evil men are now using their honor against them to accomplish their means.

7. um, maybe the individual soldiers are serving us, but
as a military unit, they are serving the corporations, and are making money for Cheney's buddies and Bush's dad.

8. Maybe so
But when they are depicted stomping and marching all over likeness of babies or dolls and shooting civilians, I have a problem with that depiction especially since thay have been lumped in with those same unscrupulous individuals who have called on them to do their dirty work. Regardless of how you want to put it, blaming the military for the war is wrong.

5. That's pretty good
and that song is such a classic. Hoping this appeals to the younger generation.
