This chorus is singing (a bastardized version of )the Marine anthem and WW2 era sounding fight songs while showing footage of all kinds of war machinery?
So let me get this shit straight... Kerry mentions he's a veteran.. that's bad.. how 'exploitative'
GOP convention = fellate the military we're hanging out to dry to get their fucking brains blown out in wars they shouldn't be in... hmmmm
excuse me while I poke my eyes and ears out and gargle some bleach...

| 6. well, certainly no offense meant to you for that! |
|
but thats another reason why they do it, it hit's people emotions. It's really a commercial for war, death, and destruction. To me, it's an insult to the troops, to use them that way. In WW2, we needed it to survive. Today? To elect a drunken sleazebag...

If I want to know what happened at RNC, I will get the condensed version from DU and avoid hearing the drivel on TV.

No kiddin No way No how
The "chorus" was a "black" church choir singing the praises of Our Dear Leader's Military.
Not even I could imagine such degradation.

There was something very offensive about that video and the choral renditions of military songs at the RNC... Brings to mind all the dead and maimed soldiers in Iraq...senseless.
