If this pisses you off, go away. . .
Because I think it's absolutely hilarious.
The audio is a bit hot, so be ready to turn it down, and you may not understand all the lyrics at first, but give it a little bit and I promise it gets better. About half way through, you'll be tempted to turn it off because you'll feel like it's run it's course, but I encourage you to stay with it for the entire video.
If you don't find it funny, well, let's just say that if you don't, then, you're not really my target demographic, OK?

A small bit of commentary below the fold. . .
Now I know SOME people are going to find this offensive, but I'd suggest that anyone who doesn't realize the stress and the activitiy levels of our troops in harms way, also won't recognize that humor is their way of coping with being far from home, doing a tough job and most importantly, battling the feelings that people at home aren't behind them.
I post this because A) I find it hilarious, B) I like poking those who would find it offensive and C) I really support the boys and girls in harm's way and can empathize with their desire to lash back a little by using humor.
So before you fire off that 10 page hate mail missive to me, just realize that if this offends you, and you bitch at me about it, I'm just going to laugh at you.
Also, lets just say that if you snipe at me or have a problem with me, that's cool, take a swipe at the troops or my "target demographic" in comments and I'll delete ya. Got it?

I recall some bint from the NYT was upset because, in 1991, some guys had painted Bart Simpson on a sing in front of their tent telling Saddam to do something rude. "War is too serious to joke about it" was what she said.
F*** 'em if they can't take a joke. You're far from home, things are messed up and you've got another six months until you can believe there won't be incoming and you're not supposed to frelling laugh?
But I'm biased. Fifteen years ago I would have been in the audience.

I'm sorry to see such a pathetic race of people such as yourself. The civil war is coming to America and your on the hit list. I do support the troops only in as far as bringing every last one home. But anyone who thinks this war in Iraq was justified or necessary should be tortured and killed.

Assuming 'Your Nightmare' isn't bright enough ... or interested enough .. to see my comment to him where Jason reported on this a few entries later ...
I snagged this from a fellow's blog who had been in Iraq with the Styker Brigade. It seems appropo:
For a soldier it is black and white: deeds not words. If you need words to better illustrate, the Latin mottos of two Infantry Regiments I have served in will suffice: "Sua Sponte" and "NeDesit Virtus": Of their own accord and Let Valor not fail.
Or in true cowboy fashion: Saddle your own horse, cull your own herd, and bury your own dead.
Don't order out your abuse, dude. "should be" not "I will" ... Step up and offer to do this yourself or have a cup of STFU.

Don't suppose anyone out there has the guitar tabs or chords for Hadji Girl?
Thanks.
