Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums
From an email sent to me by a friend:
As an active duty Marine I can not really voice my opinions about some of the events of the world. As you know we recently lost our 3000th service member and a song popped in my head. “Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums” by A Perfect Circle.
If you post anything all I ask is that you not mention my name.
You got it, man.

Ive seen another video done by the marine core to this song. I recieved it while I was in Iraq and it just shows you a hint of the insanity and chaos that really exists over there. Most Americans are too afraid of the truth because they dont understand chaos. Sometimes I wish I could “go back to sleep” and be naive of the “pain and truth and choice” because I hate how it keeps me up at night.
I wonder if Michelle has actually been in Iraq.
Haha
Who knows.
Why would you want to go to Iraq though?
However, I do likee the song ^^’
