Heavy metal band Queensrÿche has today released a new video that goes a long way in illustrating some of the important aspects of "soldier guilt;" the guilt frequently felt by combat survivors... particularly when they've lost friends.
Some survivors wonder how it is that they made it... while others didn't.
This is the alblum in its entirety from VH1.com. Yes, it's metal... and yes, it's Queensryche... I don't give a rip. I'm buying this as soon as I can find it. These guys have affiliated and are raising money for the National Military Family Association and that makes it all good for me.
For President Obama, I urge you to remember: It's the soldiers (and the sailors, Marines, Navy, Coasties and Air Force), stupid.
Queensrÿche, Rhino Entertainment and JamsBio.com have joined together in a special project honoring the AMERICAN SOLDIER. Whether you’re an active duty soldier, a reservist, a veteran or a loved one, help us celebrate the strength and courage of those who serve our country by sharing (1) stories of service and sacrifice, (2) song dedications to military personnel at home and abroad, and (3) your list of top-5 songs related to war and life on the frontlines.
