I liked the visuals over the actual song, but both very good.

This song is the shit.

Apparently Barney Frank says that he only smokes cigars. Well, and sausages.
Kinda writes itself.

Good stuff.

Darleen–your milquetoast is proud he has never served in the military…
…and while I was listening to and watching the video, I was feeling remorse that I *didn’t* serve, and that I’m too old to now!
Comment by donald on 11/7 @ 9:14 am #
Yes it was. But, there was not mention of sausages.

Oh. It’s Tommy this,
and Tommy that,
And Tommy stand in line.
But it’s “Up Front, Mr. Atkins.”
When there’s trouble in the wind.
Hush now child. Your betters have work to do.

Fuck off you vile disgisting whorelover. You are not fit to lick the dirt off of the soles of the shoes of the people you try to denigrate. Get help.

troll cleanup done… sorry if some replies are left hanging in the wind. Please don’t feed ‘em, m’kay?

Sorry, all. My apologies.
Comment by Darleen on 11/7 @ 10:07 am #
Rusty has it right … milquetoasts, toadies and all manner of stinkytrolls will never “get” either the military nor this song. They either wee-wee themselves that the military is made up of nothing but barely restrained psycho killers or they sneer it is made up of misfits and losers.
Yet, in disasters natural or manmade, these wee wee-ers will feel entitled to the services of the military without question.

I don’t blame anyone who wants to thrash trolls. I enjoy it myself.
But we haven’t had any original trolls in a long time. It’s the same old same old and it is BORING and too much becomes about them.
I can’t be around all the time to clean up as it happens but I’m going to be a lot more on it. On topic disagreement I’ll leave, even on-topic troll-mendacities that we can easily refute. But sheer flame is going to get disappeared.

barely restrained psycho killers
Unless you’re a Muslim shouting “Allah Accuweather!” Then you’re a victim of being misunderstood.
“Please understand my Muslim pain! You’re misunderstanding is causing me to kill! Please understand me before I kill again!”
Comment by sdferr on 11/7 @ 10:36 am #
The song doesn’t perpetuate anything in and of itself. Perpetuation takes a rational agent (that’s you, by the way) choosing to press an intentionally mistaken interpretation.
Comment by DarthRove on 11/7 @ 10:37 am #
I’m seeing it as a “strike fear into the enemy’s heart” thing. Looks like it worked.
If you can scare the enemy into bricking his shorts and giving up, you don’t have to visit death and destruction on them. I thought Desert Storm and the Dance Of The Surrendering Iraqis showed that.
Comment by serr8d on 11/7 @ 10:56 am #
War is hell; fighting in wars is not sitting around discussing semiotics or any words for that matter. The taking of life, the administering of death in pitched battles, is not nuanced or subtle. People who train to do that work on behalf of their nation, on our behalf, get to write and sing whatever songs they like. Give ‘em a break. Especially if you are a beneficiary of that administered death, or of their sacrifice; something which most could never find the stones to be able to do.
Thank ‘em, and STFU.
Comment by DarthRove on 11/7 @ 11:10 am #
The song is performed in a rather odd blend of drum corps/oo-rah rap that doesn’t really speak to me. But from my admittedly limited appreciation for the rap genre, I thought that over-the-top, braggadocios, inflammatory statements were part of the shtick. So if I’m not supposed to get upset about lyrics like these, for example, I’m not going to get too worked up over this song either. I understand and appreciate what the composer and performers are putting out there.

It’s quite instructive to listen to the enemy and hear what they make of the situation. If you hang out with these particular denizens of the hard left, you get a very good sense of your own worth to those ideologically opposed to you, and the worth of those who died in Ft. Hood. Check out this little gem in the comments:
I don’t think that particular attitude is very unusual among that crew.

That’s breathtaking SW…”The Killing Fields“..? It looks like someone’s been swallowing too much Hollywood handwringing apologist propaganda…

Anton Chighur in dialog with a former resident of Temple, Tx. (home of the Scott-White Hospital to which some of the gunshot at Ft. Hood were taken) on the nature of choice and the intentionality of withholding assent.

If Dith Pran heard that “killing fields” snark I think he’d punch the snarker in the face. If he weren’t a generally nice guy and not dead and all.
Comment by Bob Reed on 11/7 @ 12:34 pm #
Great video Darleen,
Thanks for the link…
I never ceased to be amazed at how the nutroots can so easily equate US soldiers, by far the most civilian casualty and collateral damage conscious force in history, to fascism; but fail to recognize the construct of a government controlled business and industrial axis as the actual fascism that it is.
They just close their eyes and repeat, “mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmm”, I guess…
Comment by Bob Reed on 11/7 @ 12:37 pm #
And Whoremonger?
How dare you play a chickenhawk card on anyone, you pusillanimous punk! You, or any of your ilk who wished death. calamity, and defeat on our forces overseas; all for political expediency…
You disgust me…
Comment by Silver Whistle on 11/7 @ 12:43 pm #
Bob,
I try not to personalize politics; sometimes it is very difficult. Trots in particular strain my forbearance.
Comment by JD on 11/7 @ 12:52 pm #
The trolls enjoy pissing on the men and women in uniform. This is the same alphie that had such kind wishes for LtC John previously. Whore is just being whore.

Nice Disgusting Whorelover…
Taking my name now to post a ridiculous comment. I’ll man up and admit that I used the term “Blackie O!” to satirize Michelle “Gun Show” Obama; becuse I have a sac in my underwear, as you clearly have demonstrated you don’t by sock-puppeting my name.And while I don’t owe you any explanation of my usage, I’ll give you one anyway; because it will make you appear even more vile and childish than you do now…
You see, it was a play on the media’s breathless attempts to recreate the Obama White House as “Camelot”, down to staging pictures of his children playing in the Oval office just like John Jr. did in the early sixties. Notwithstanding the fact that the whole notion of “Camelot” was a press contrivance in the first place anyway, perhaps a more apt characterization of Obama’s White House might be “Scam-a-lot” instead; based on their willingness to engage in any skullduggary to move their legislative agenda forward…
But back to the satire. Recall that following JFK’s death and her remarriage, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onasis was referred “Jackie O” in the public parlance. I was trying to spoof the media’s desperate attempts at drawing a parallel between her and Michelle and the word “Blackie” neatly rhymed with Jackie, as well as what had come into common usage amongst the commentariat as shorthand for Obama, O! worked well to, I adopted the turn of the phrase “Blackie O!” in my desire to ridicule the overreaching media attempt. I assure you that any double entendre regarding her very dark complexion was simply a serendipitous dividend as it lent a bit of literary irony to the overall satire…
And now that I’ve explained it, I see no need to refute your pathetic attempts at making me out to be a racist…

Bob – thor is also a cowardly fucking liar. So he has that going for him.
Comment by SBP on 11/7 @ 2:14 pm #
Bob, just keep reminding yourself that you are the man that thor will never be.
Comment by JD on 11/7 @ 2:22 pm #
Lying dishonest cowardly goat-fucker you are, thorita.
Comment by Abe Froman on 11/7 @ 2:36 pm #
The joke was funny stinky. It only required explanation because lefties like yourself are slow and look at the negro people as mascots rather than human beings entitled to having the same range of expression directed at them as everyone else. I doubt a lily-white proggy butt pirate like yourself has a single black friend.
Comment by Silver Whistle on 11/7 @ 3:11 pm #
is what the Telegraph is claiming.
I haven’t seen this angle reported elsewhere. If true, this is an indictment of vetting procedures in the US military. Also, if true,makes me wonder how the Sunday Telegraph got the scoop, instead of the combined US media.
Comment by Abe Froman on 11/7 @ 3:32 pm #
You win. I see the light. I’m gonna make a new black friend tonight and tell them your joke. Wish me luck.
Credit for the joke (or witty social observation) goes to Bob, not me. And good luck sweetcheeks. Tell em’ you’re down with the struggle and you’d like to discuss it over an un-chicken salad sandwich sometime.

The US media is too busy listening to the Genius in Chief explain how we will never know the shooters motives.

If the Telegraph isn’t blowing smoke up our collective ass, that story is huge, B Moe, and will end up with egg on very many faces.

Just a coincidence, nothing to it at all, ISLAMOPHOBE!!!!, and..uh…Look! Bunnies!
Comment by Synova on 11/7 @ 9:36 pm #
I love that song. It’s awesome and the visuals are incredible.
I put the url in a comment and told someone to go look at it… I said, consider that the guys in the military who think this is fabulous rather than horrific are some of the best people, better than most, the most compassionate even, and if you can understand the appeal of this song then you’ll UNDERSTAND. I was using it as an example of some of the stuff Obama does that pisses off military and veterans that *seems* like it shouldn’t be offensive. Or how certain types insist that the military people *ought* to be angry or upset about something they don’t seem upset about. (One example would be thinking that Kerry would be popular with the military and that no one would *care* about that other stuff and if anyone claimed they cared about the stuff he’d done and said they were obvious political hacks.)
It’s a great song and gets better with repetition.
And I refuse to cringe and worry that someone is going to misunderstand it and say bad things. I’m a veteran and it says it’s dedicated to me. So screw ‘em.

there’s these dirty socialist little douchebags what sing a song about soldierings. They’re from Chicago, where the little president man is from.
Comment by Silver Whistle on 11/8 @ 6:32 am #
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent in the Great War. It is at this time that we in Great Britain remember all those who fell in battle, although the Sunday nearest the date is known as Remembrance Sunday, and wreaths of poppies are lain in church, often near the standards of the local regiment which are openly displayed. In Scotland, a lone piper will play a lament. Spare a thought, if you have the time, for one of them; he stands for all of them.

You’re very small.
Comment by Roland THTG on 11/8 @ 8:41 am #
It’s a pretty MOTO song, for sure.
I don’t think SGT Jr’s mom would approve, so I won’t send her the link.
It’s not “Proud to be an American”, for which I am eternally grateful. I have come to dread that song. The first 1600 times were ok, but gak, enough!
I think this one
this one is more closer to real.
War is ugly nasty and brutish, as it should be.
Comment by Roland THTG on 11/8 @ 8:46 am #
Off topic, but I find it amusing that Fox Sports can send troops to A’stan, but Obama can’t?

Comment by ukuleledave on 11/8 @ 10:23 am #
Part of my comment on the milquetoast’s site:
With the exceptions for illegal actions within warfare, the soldier should generally have a single mindset: identify and kill the enemy. War itself is terrible business, and it should be put off in all cases and reserved for the most extreme circumstances. That said, our military strives to be efficient, brutal and professional in delivering hell to whomever is an enemy of the US. That dedication to the act of war actually makes war less likely and as brief as possible. (You can probably tell that my objection about our recent conflicts has more to do with Commanders in Chief dithering while troops serve in harm’s way.)
I’m kinda glad you didn’t serve too. You’d have been pretty poor at it. On the bright side, you can thank those who did for your freedom to disagree.
When you watch A Few Good Men (Cruise/Nicholson) remember that you might identify with the Tom Cruise character, but Col. Jessep’s words were mostly true. You want him on that wall.

Funny, ukuleledave, I was thinking the same thing about that person. (Actually, I was thinking that he would have been a major pain in the ass to his chain of command until he got chaptered.)

Comment by SFC Red Thomas (Ret.) on 11/11 @ 8:49 pm #
The song is splendid, bully for you, well done.
For those of you who didn’t serve, never apologize. You chose a different mission. It’s the American tax payer who broke the back of the Soviet Union. When the poor, weak, cowering masses around the globe pray to God, Allah, Budda, or Mother Earth for succor, they pray the Americans will bring it. And when we can; this bounty is provided by the American tax payer. And unlike the benificient U.N, Americans don’t force a parent to trade their children as sex slaves in exchange for food and medicine.
Each Labor Day I send every tax payer I know a thank-you letter for the gear they bought me and the troops they allowed me to lead.
Currently the US military has only two enemies, Islamofascists and the American media.
And for the guy who quoted Kipling it ends
“For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!
Read Tommy and “The Last of The Light Brigade and try not to get mist eyed; I dare you.
