Description:

*WARNING-Graphic Imagery* My nephew just enlisted. Here's some of what you may be in for, John. The tune is Metallica's "Don't Tread on Me." And for the record, I'm not necessarily for pulling out (we cannot be perceived by the Arab world as having lost), but I sure as shit wouldn't want to be in it. Afghanistan? Sure (I live in NYC and have bone to pick), but not Iraq. I don't know that John's actually ever seen these types of images of war, but he ought to know what could be.

Thanks for understanding, sohb. My sister and I aren't exactly doves, but we're not hawks, either. Our family is represented by three wars: WWII (grandfather), Korea (father), Vietnam (uncle). I used such graphic imagery because I don't know that our nephew is aware of what he may be in for. Maybe it's better that way, but I believe in full disclosure...in most cases, anyway.

What does this have to do with this video?

Don't you think, dudes, that watching soldiers' death others will seek revenge for the glory of their fallen bro's?

I mean when he sees this, he'll be more eager to engage in combat. War is more of a spirit than the body, and a true warrior can be killed, but not defeated.

How he takes to it is his deal. The video isn't about that, but about full disclosure. None of us knows how he'll react...and I've known the kid since he was born.

War is horror. God bless your nephew, Sing. Good vid to make one think.

It's good to see that not all US people are sadistic barbarians despite the government.

DB: I'm really not sure you're accurate about his becoming more eager to engage in combat. I've been thinking about this and Cheeser gave me another angle in an email. John is pretty bashful. Granted, he's only 18 and he could grow a pair, but I don't know about that. Apparently (I haven't actually talked to him about this), he's afraid of driving a car.

This young man is my nephew as well. He is not the type to be inspired by this video. I think it will scare him. I am glad there are those that feel the way you do, but unfortunately, or fortunately, John is not one of them.
