[kj] OT: "Punk" band Yellowcard to tour Mid-East as part of USO "support the troops" campaign

[Alexander Smith]

More to the point, I don't think Rollins is "shit" for entertaining  
the troops. I'm dead sure Henry disagrees with the policies of the  
Bush Administration. The war in Iraq is not the troops' collective  
fault. They go where they're told. I doubt the majority of them are  
any happier about being in Iraq than we are. Henry shouldn't be blamed  
for being compassionate towards their plight.

Now capitalizing on it by releasing a live album and self- 
mythologizing yourself as a new millennial Sgt. Rock ? That's a  
different story.
