More on Jarhead... and linkage
Go over and talk to Onlooker for a bit. Hes got something interesting to say about coming back from war...
A little holiday linkage
I try not to be too political in this space, and limit myself to just military topics. However, i really felt like linking to Rogers for a little "my thoughts exactly."
Scroll past the first few paragraphs of rememberance if you're not a usual Monkey reader. Worth your time. New Year's Resolution.
How do we feel it?
A Look Akance is right on with this one.
I don't know, if there is an answer to this one, if it is a.) make the war real at home, or b.) not have the war.
Generally, I'd be behind B, but I have issues of how to effect A. Certainly, if you have a war that's hemorrhaging five and half billion dollars a month there should be some spending restraints put in place, but seeing as resources are not scarce like they have been in prior wars, there really aren't a whole lot of things the average American can do to help (aside, of course, from stifling dissent: Freedom is on the march, and if you disagree you're helping the terrorists).
Draft Dodger Rag
It will be interesting to see if we get anything like this coming out in the near future. Personally I'd love to hear the Eminem cover.
