The Price of Freedom
This song - as I'm apparently the last f***ing Guardsman to learn - was written by a twelve-year-old daughter of a National Guardsman and her 16-year-old sister.
I think they did a wonderful job, don't you?
P.S., The price of peace is steep. Freedom, on the other hand, costs a buck-0-five.

Citizen Soldier
So I went and saw Mongol the other night. First movie in a theater I've seen since 300 came out.
I might write about Mongol later (I liked it) but what I was really impressed by was this trailer.
Apparently, I'm the last idiot on the planet to have seen it, but I thought it was fantastic!
At last, an ad agency that understands us! I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail... noting that the 29th Division, a Guard division, was at Normandy (though by 1944 it would have contained few actual Guardsmen).
It works much better on the big screen. So sit up close.
