Reminder of Fahrenheit 9/11

This article reminded me of the scene in Fahrenheit 9/11 when Bloodhound Gang's lyric "burn motherfucker burn" was played as the rallying cry of GIs. The young soldier that describes the song was chilling in his matter-of-fact dismissal of war and death.

Extreme Cinema Verite

On one hand, you feel so angry with the soldiers for being so thoughtless of the lives that are being taken. But then you are angry at the government for putting these 18 and 19 year olds in a situation that their young minds cannot make sense of with their video game and MTV upbringing.
