Take a look at this video. Just in time for Veterans Day. This was filmed in Iraq at a USO tour of a US Marine Base.

A guy I know who I served with in Vietnam, that I know and like as a friend, sent the link to me and a few others because it made him feel good about the miliary and America and he wanted to share it. I got to thinking about it after I posted it. Got to trying to remember how I felt about things back forty years ago. And I came to the conclusion that if something had happened like that in Vietnam and the infantry guys I knew were in the audience, I think more than a few of them would have probably felt like going up on that stage and grabbing that guy and beating the hell out of him for being so unaware of what serving in a war was about that he puts it on the level of an Army VS Navy football game.
