"Some of those who run forces/Are the same that burn crosses"
After falling short of its goals last year, military recruiting in 2006
has been marked by upbeat pronouncements from Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, claims of success by the White House, and a spate of recent
press reports touting the military's achievement of its woman- and
manpower goals.
[Rage Against the Machine were merely pointing out an inconvenient
truth. SOME of those... But that was before The Chimp. Now it's
full-on, and it's difficult not to think of the further militarization
of the inner cities when these people get out. Or The Turner Diaries
here. Kinda gets ya where ya live, donnit? Your tax dollars at work,
fellow Murrrkins: training neo-Nazi skinheads and hardcore gang-bangers
to kill Iraquis defending their neighborhoods. (Who were the Redcoats?)
Amerikkka uber alles! All in the name of "Freedom."
