[B.]

Here's an interview I did who I think are the
best-going hardcore punk band around these days,
Austin's World Burns to Death:

Here's a taste:

Q: What do you all think of the phrase “Support Our
Troops” and how it is used in this war?

Zac (guitarist):  Another meaningless saying that
seems to get a real rise out of the public. Kind of
like “the power of pride.” What the fuck does that
mean? It’s disturbing they can print up these goofy
phrases on bumper stickers, show you their best
footage on Fox News concealing the things they don’t
want you to see, and the next thing you know 7 out of
10 cars on the road are sporting these slogans.

Jon (drummer): All that phrase is doing is asking
people to support the unlawful murder that it going on
in the Middle East. In case you or anyone else reading
this didn’t know, this war is not new. It started long
before March 20, 2003 or September 11, 2001. “War on
Terror”–what a fucking joke.

Jack (vocalist): The phrase is a cop-out. The left use
it as a justification for an anti-war stance. Begging
for permission. So as not to be labeled anti-American.
World Burns to Death does not ask for permission. We
are anti-American. Fuck the troops. Bring them home in
body bags. Fucking brainless murderers.
