The detention and possible ordsprog

en The detention and possible punishment of Mr. Abney comes at a time when growing numbers of US military personnel, including Marines, are coming to Canada because of their opposition to the Iraq War. It seems pretty clear that Mr. Abney's sudden difficulties are a response to this. As well, it seems the Marine Corps is trying to prevent further desertions by making an example of Mr. Abney. Besides being vindictive, this is unlikely to be effective. The best way to end the US military's problems is to end the war in Iraq immediately.

en No. MUSHROOMHEAD and DOPE both have a pretty good military following. I think it has to do with the aggressive music. These people that are sent over to Iraq or training for war, whenever they throw this stuff in there headphones, it really makes them feel like there not alone. I can't tell ya how many e-mails we have gotten and letters from soldiers over there that have used 'Die Motherfucker Die' in their CD players and kept it on repeat. They're waiting for some shit to go down. Every time there’s been some kind of function put together for bands to go over to Iraq to perform, we have always thrown our name in the hat. Nobody ever calls us back because we're DOPE , and because the United States military isn't going to support DOPE going to play to their troops.
