The Living Force
I am sorry to say that I watched American idol last night on Asia (murdoch) Starworld (i'm not proud). There was a surprising focus on young wannabees who had military connections. One singer who 'made it through' to the next round in Hollywood won his Naval ship's own 'Reagan Idol' version (the ship is called Reagan). The notoriously mean Simon Cowell said, "you are not the best singer but people are going to like you. Yes you're through to Hollywood"
After a couple of rejects a young woman reserve dressed in full combats sang badly and got through too. We were treated to a sickening montage of photos of her husband in 'operation freedom' in Iraq. She told us how she couldn't wait to go to Iraq and get involved too. Again Simon Cowell said, "you are not the best singer but people are going to like you.". Outside the audition she kissed the photo of her fighting husband.
The message is clear. America is at War and you young people should come join in. It's fun and it's for freedom! eek.
