Disposable heroes

[Michiko]

1. The notion that soldiers are so conditioned to kill and die by their country. That doesnt apply so much today where soldiers have the option to enlist and most of them are there to do what is best for their country. It applies, for the most part, to a countrys will to [have its] soldier be mindless killing machines in [uneventful] wars that are only taking place becasue said instigating country wants it to.

2. An overlooked song that appears on the album Master of Puttpets by Metallica. In my opinion one of their more complex and technical songs with polictical views that weren;t just jumping on the band wagon of their time cough [Greenday] cough
