(Fight the Devil!)" from the album "Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System." It includes quotes from some kind of military brass dude talking about what the military can and can't do. Who is it talking and in what context? The samples are not identified/acknowledged. The bit I'm wondering about goes like this:<br> <br> –<br> <br> “So we said we can’t do that, we can’t do this, we can’t do that, and finally they stood up and said, ‘So what the hell CAN you do?’<br> <br> “The correct answer is ‘we can kill people, and destroy things, in the name of the United States’ — oh my god, you can’t say THAT — but that’s what we do! [laughter]<br> <br> “And if you don’t want that done, DON’T SEND IN THE MILITARY. Don’t send in the military and then say, ‘Oh my God. You hurt someone.’<br> <br> “Of course we did. That’s what you sent us there to do.”<br> – tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.39180 Tue, 30 May 2006 13:12:47 -0800 dub music sample tackhead edheil
