Your Tax Dollars At Work
Apparently, our boys in Iraq have a lot of extra time on their hands. While it's true that these guys do get some downtime and they aren't working 24/7, it's still a bit disturbing that these guys are representing American in Iraq.
Four more videos below the fold.

Soldiers dancing is disturbing?
I had a sense of inspiration and joy when I first saw these clips.
These young men are celebrating, letting off steam in a positive manner; they are transforming and releasing energy that could otherwise imbue itself in their bodies with very negative consequences.
Should their military lives be run so tightly that the imbalance and stresses of war create extreme imbalance? Would you rather that be the case and have them return back home psychologically impaired and dysfunctional? Rx for PTSD can be very expensive. That Rx would be extra tax dollars.
Another reason to see this as a celebration is that they are dancing with other men. I think the homophobia associated with the military has lightened a bit.
When I first saw these youtube clips I had wondered if activities like these had occurred in the Vietnam war, or the Korean War, or in WWII. I see it as positive change.
Don't forget, these Marines are highly trained; they can kill with their bare hands, so to see them dancing with each other, I think is a good thing.
The irresponsibility regarding spending of tax dollars has less to do with dancing Marines than it does with the bozos in Washington.
geez what a hard ass...i guess you never went to summer camp. it is a pretty simple recipe: boredom, a bunch of guys, and some props = craziness. now we just see it on you tube.
i am happy for them that the craziness of war hasnt made them into vientman era shell shocked freaks...
