Brian: Punk Rock in Iraq

That's insane... sounds like some tense situations.

speaking of tense situations, why is your comment on here before any introduction from the staff.

Yeah,I was wondering the same thing, and the fact that you cant access this thread from the "site" Board itself, just the main Boards page....

She's a witch!

Let's not jump to conclusions. First we try to drown her. If she doesn't drown, then we know she's a witch and we burn her.

What also floats in water?

... Bread! ...Apples! ... Uh, very small rocks! Cider! Gra- Gravy! Cherries! Mud! Churches! Churches! Lead! Lead!

A duck!

Exactly. So... logically ...

If... she ... weighs.. the same.. as a duck ... she's made of wood.

And therefore?

A witch! A witch! A witch!

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

I am Arthur, King of the Britons.

Always remember

This is a great article. probably one of the most interesting ones I've read on SG in a while.

thanks.

Great article.....Thanks for sharing your first person experience...

Brian!!
I hope your doing well and im so glad to see this went up.
I can't wait for you to return home so i can give you a big hug. Hope your landrovers are working ok

and all of the monty python references make me wanna cum :o

WOW!! It's so good to know that the good ol' U.S. of A. is always there, willing to lend a helping hand. Sure, we may kill children, but it's all in the name of PEACE! And, how Punk Rock is it to be in the U.S. Fuckin' MILITARY? Or, let me re-phrase that: How Punk Rock is it to be a Well-Fed-Slave? A TRUE Punk wouldn't be in today's military in the first place! They CERTAINLY wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with a BULLSHIT war. TRUE Punks are out there PROTESTING our occupation in Iraq. So, GOOD MORNING PEOPLE! There IS no Punk Rock in Iraq. Just the MTV version: Mindless, Pointless.
REVOLT!
"T"

True punks also have problems with their Shift key, apparently.

Ummmm...... it appears SG is "embedded".

ARMY= Aint Ready to be a Marine Yet... where was the army when we needed to be resupplied?? Oh wait running for cover cause they didnt want to fight, where were they in the bloodiest battle since nam, nasyriah??? oh yeah traveling through the desert here ther wasnt a damn rug hugger in sight. Get some balls and join the corps.....
HATED and PROUD

I am quite sure it was not up to Punk whether or not our fine countries invaded iraq. The guy is doing his job , and a hard one at that.
I know a lot of guys in the army and one senior guy in the navy and they do a lot of good in between wars that you never hear about . They are proud of what they do..And i would imagine that most of them feel the same about the last war as we do.
If you want to write in protest do it on your governments web site , cause its them that make the decisions, or vote out Bush and his oil loving henchmen, its them who send our men out to die for political and economic gain. .Don't do it on some guys site who is just doing his job and telling it like it is, something which we all need to hear to avoid total ignorance.

Thanks for taking the time Brian..

P.S......Nothing against you, personally, Brian.

Whether or not I believe in the reasons for this war, it seems like Brian and his guys are doing a good job of improving a bad situation.

And Punk Rock isn't about doing things or not doing things cause they are or aren't punk rock. It is living you life by your own rules, and if to him that means the army than GO BRIAN!

hold up, you can't let people off the hook on the basis that they're "just doing their job" when they chose the job. and i don't know why i'm reading a pro military write up on this site when i can watch fox news for that shit. i want to hear brian talk about the issues, not how the us army is doing a good thing, or even "just doing their job."

more civilians have been killed in iraq than were killed in the world trade center attack. we haven't found any weapons, and we haven't found saddam hussein. and us soldiers are getting picked off every day. i'd like to hear one of the soldiers talk about how they feel about that stuff.

Yeah, when I was working on this I had a few questions I wish he'd answered too, but I imagine he's a little busy nowadays. I think his silence on those issues speaks a lot of his opinion on the subject. The fact that he'd rather talk about the good things that he's doing and his belief in his mission than politics speaks volumes.

Wouldn't the phrase "Ours is not to ask why, but to do or die." kindof appropriate in regard to this piece?
