Well yes, but it's well known the over-enthusiasm of military recruiters, usually on college campuses, or was, during the Iraq War. I was not the one who noted it but it certainly seemed like they were signing up anyone they could to fight in Bush's war for oil, sorry war on terror, and I think McFarlane was hinting at that there. Much of what happens in FG demands you just unhook your brain --- after all, how could a baby operate a time machine? --- but this just struck me as being something of his looking askance at the whole idea of overzealous military recruiters.
Also, what did you think of the Maiden album? Did you listen to it?
@ myths: rather than quote all your text, let me just say that as far as the ABM albums you recommended, yes there was a second batch but I had reached my quota at that point: twelve is usually the figure I work with, three per section, four sections. I may listen again at some point but right now I'm all metalled out. There were other albums from other people I didn't get to, but due to the sudden emergency at home and my required presence at the hospital every day, there was little chance to shoehorn them in and I had to go with what I had done. Thanks for taking the time though and I'll try to get to them at some point.
Note: The comparison with Bruce on
FotD is only on that one song, and it's not that close but I just felt that guy's vocals were not as harsh as I would have been expecting on a black metal album.
