My bad.. Yes, I'll freely admit it's incredibly ham handed. :) There's nothing all too clever about it either - the footage is lifted shot for shot from another pro-war propaganda film - which in turn lifted footage from a military documentary. I just thought it would be interesting to see it in a less than positive light. If you're interested the original is called "Bomb Saddam" or "Fuck Saddam" or something like that - search for it...

Not to put too fine a point on this, but Black Shirts most definitely were Italian as were the SS. In any event - I just thought it was a ham-handed way to express an opinion. Although I must admit - cleverly done.

Interesting interpretation. I think you mean Brown Shirts, by the way - Blackshirts were Italian. In fact this was more of a comment on the death of the Bill of Rights and Habeas Corpus and what it means. The military are just a tool of Democracy. Without the Bill of Rights, the Military are no better than the brown shirts.

Hmmm...

So you are equating the US military with the Black Shirts? How very sad a world view you have.
