Seawitch sends this awesome video of Aussie lass Beccy Cole who is singing "Poster Girl" in response to some of her fans who disagree with her supporting the Diggers, the Australian soldiers fighting in The Long War.

Simply put, it is amazing...turn it up:

Update 10-25-06:  Seawitch mentions that she saw the original on Aussie Patrick's site It's A Matter of Opinion, and Patrick got it from  Andrew Bolt, who got it from Andrew Landeryou.

HOOAH!

[Uncle Jimbo]

We can emigrate, right?

Cordially,

Uncle J

[Scott]

Wow. Really good. The Aussies get her and we get the Ditsy Chix...

[senorlechero]

er..........don't you mean the "Chixy Dicks"?

Beccy's song is great, and her spirit is awesome. What a difference between her and the angry leftists.........so much love and compassion in her.......so much hate and destruction in the left

[htom]

She really, really, gets it. Much better than Jane Fonda.

[Robin]

I'm not Australian, but this video gave me chills. Awesome and inspiring.

[Old Tanker]

Now I know why I always liked the Aussies.....

Did ya have to bring up the Ditsy Chics and Jane Fonda??? aarrrgghh!

[Lands’nGrooves (aka tim)]

Good on her. I may have to buy her album to make up for the idiots who she sings about.

Thanks to the Diggers and the rest of the Aussie’s for joining in the fight.

[CPT(P)HAM]

Hubba Hubba

[Rob]

Good on her. We need a few million more like her!

[Carrie]

That was so good!!!

And folks? It's the Ditzy Twits.

[Ron Henderson]

Hello - Another really, really great day on "Blackfive". Thanks for running the piece. It will give you the chills to see the feeling in her eyes. Good on her. We need a few million of them in the USA. She is a good singer. Semper Fi. Ron Henderson

[Mikey NTH]

Compare and contrast her to Yvonne Ridley.

Actually, there is no comparison.

[Some Soldier's Mom]

my first thought was that we'd not be likely to be hearing the DC singing this one.... thanks for sharing!

[Larry J]

Damn, that was beautiful! I really like her message, in essence, "If you don't like what I stand for, too bad! I'm not changing to please you."

Good on you, Beccy! And my God bless Australia.

[Pommy B%$&*£d]

Simply awesome and inspiring. It moved me to tears and I guess it did the same to a few other folk too.

God bless all who give their unconditional support to those at the sharp end - those who are simply doing a job!

[Teresa]

She's awesome - thanks for putting it up here Matt!

[MAJ LOGGIE]

Austrailia! Austrailia! We love you! AMEN
Rule #1: No Poofdas

The Aussies were pretty Awesome in BAF. Got back here to Germany and they were even more fun drinking it up at the World cup!

[Mike O]

Find her music; buy her music! A really great voice as well.

AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! OYE! OYE! OYE!

Pass around the link to this wherever you can!

[Marvin]

Damn those Aussies are lucky to have support like that!
That is one Beautiful Lass.....inside and out...wow!

Could we get Faith Hill or Sara Evans to do an American version?

[T. Shaw]

It'll be time to emigrate to Australia when Pelosi becomes House Speaker.

[Draftee]

Really support Beccy and go buy one or more of her CD's. Fair dinkum!!

[TBinSTL]

I'm thinking that her stand will not hurt her at all and I'll do my part to ensure it.

[rusty4x4]

Could we get Faith Hill or Sara Evans to do an American version?

For the uninitiated, Chely Wright wrote "The Bumper of My SUV," an equally moving song.

[vet66]

She does a 'digger' proud!

What a great song...

[douglas]

Wow, now that's a sheila with her head on straight, and humility the likes of which the ditzy chicks couldn't even imagine.

Think if we pass this around, we can get her on the American charts? Shouldn't we at least try? Besides, judging by this song, the rest of the disc is probably pretty good too.

[Patrick]

Hi people. I was just reading all these wonderful comments. Beccy certainly is a treasure, I think I have found a new "love of my life"...LOL. Shhhhhhh don't tell my Mrs. ;)

And from an Aussie, thanks for the warm words.

[CPT T]

Wow- fantastic video. When I was in Iraq, I often felt bad for the Brits and Aussies (and the others as well) who didnt have anywhere near the support we do back home. Its good to know at least one Aussie from down under has her head on right side up!

[bob denham]

Were do we get the CD and Vidio.

[Old Tanker]

Marvin

Toby Keith and Alan Jackson have some good ones out, but Sara Evans would be pretty cool.

rusty 4x4

I would be uninitiated, I will have to look up Chely Wright

[yankeemom]

She is wonderful!! I'm glad she's a poster girl for the Diggers!
Brightened my day and heart, it did! Thanks ~

[darian]

hey diggers we in The states are proud of you and thankful for your sacrifices...

[FbL]

Wow. That gave me chills. And tears. And I'm not Australian!

[Rich Casebolt]

One of the reasons I support the continued existence of independent, soverign nations (as opposed to global governance), is that I want to have somewhere to run to, in the rare event that governance here in America goes bad and threatens my life and liberty.

I am gratified to see that Oz is still one of those safe havens ... filled with people like Beccy who "get it".

I wholeheartedly echo Mike O's sentiments ... and it's good, as an amateur musician, to be reminded what principled professionals can produce ... in both style and content.

[Lonevoice]

That

was

AWESOME!!!!!

[Dawnsblood]

Yes

[Limerick]

Beautiful. Please remember that we have men and women around the world in dark and scary places.
Write. Donate. I have a photo of my sons mess tent last Christmas. The inside of the tent is covered with cards from strangers. He said every man in his troop couldn't help but tear up upon seeing them. USO donations. Packages. Phone Cards. Anything to let them know we all aren't watching CNN. God bless em all, in every nation, that fights this fight for us all.

[francisbaken]

That was excellent!

God bless Australia!

[Maggie45]

Oh, man, now I can't see to drive home from work. What a woman!!!

[invernessie]

Very nice. To show my support for her work I just bought a couple of her CDs off of the UK Amazon site.

Wish we could see more "artists" with this kind of backbone.

[TMA]

It's a fabulous song, though I wince every time she rhymes
"must be done" with "Australian"...

[Tammi]

That was so refreshing and enjoyable. Thanks for posting it.

[Dusty]

Absolutely fantastic song. And what a voice. She's pried my wallet open for the first music I'll have bought in five years.

It sure would be nice if she did a tour here (and I won't say how long it's been since I went to a concert).

[MortgFinsJohnQ]

I worked as the clerk, here in San Diego Superior Court unlawful detainer court, for ten years before I retired. It can be tough forcing people out of their homes and a dangerous job for the court bailiff's. On both sides (landlord and tenant) there are good people and bad. Here too its the reality of the over heated housing market and too easy credit. Rents are very high as are housing prices. One slipup and it can be all over for the renter or owner.

[Mark in Tucson]

Absolutely awesome! The Aussies have their heads on straight and she makes an absolutely stunning representative for the right side.

[cc]

Loved the post and will be checking out the CD. Now, would anyone know if the Aussies have anything like www.anysoldier.com? I have an Aussie friend who would like to send some cheer to her folks overseas and doesn't know how and I haven't been able to find anything either. Thanks.

[matthew splitt]

wow

[Gabrielle]

She's wonderful. What a touching post. Those Diggers are the real deal. When I was in Australia I noticed that Australian women have the biggest smiles in the world.

[Mandy]

Regardless of what side of the War you're on .. she's a great inspiration for standing up in what you believe and a wonderful morale booster for the Troops - Aussies and Americans alike ... and all the other countries troops that are over there!

[Smartin]

What antivirus do You prefer?
Do yoy use firewall ?

[staghounds]

Chokes me up too. I'm sure she's negotiating in Nashville already, but if not I know some people...

[Nicodemus]

Absolutely wonderful ! Hope she comes to the US for a tour.

[zoomies]

damn, that just grabs you by the heart and won't let go, doesn't it. three cheers for the diggers!

[Ben Bauman]

This is amazing. I have sent this song out to a lot of people already. I wish we had more with her backbone in our Country.

Thanks for putting your thoughts into words that even the liberals could understand!

[Rob]

The Aussies are the new Brits. They are the only nation that always watched our back for the last 65 years. It is time we disregard our fair weather friends and appreciate our true "mates".

[Mike]

Most excellent!

[Scotty]

You give way to much credit to liberals. They do not have the same level of reasoning conservatives do.

Nice Video, I love patriots of Freedom. Wether they are American, English or Australian etc. they love liberty and freedom and that is awesome.

[Andrew]

Outstanding. Why do WE get stuck with the Ditzy Chicks. We need artists with guts like this.

[BabyAngel]

Hey Guys...how much does your site cost?
I`d like to buy it!

[bthun (the red neck formerly known as bruce)]

Beccy Cole does indeed inspire a deeper appreciation for our cousins down under.

Rob:
"The Aussies are the new Brits. They are the only nation that always watched our back for the last 65 years. It is time we disregard our fair weather friends and appreciate our true "mates"."

While I agree with the basic premise of what you say, and I believe that NATO is not what it once was, I can't give up on our UK cousins even as Europe becomes Eurabia.

I've always appreciated the wisdom in the saying, keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer.

Andrew:
"Why do WE get stuck with the Ditzy Chicks. We need artists with guts like this."

Well, hopefully the D chicks, Hilton, CNN and the like will reap the rewards for their speech and their actions. Thats the beauty of this country. You're free to make most any statement or make a complete fool of yourself but there is no guarantee that the public at large will not turn their back on you and/or take their business elsewhere.

Regarding patriotic artists in the U.S., we have lots of em here. Mostly you have to look at the artists who play both kinds of music, country and western. As mentioned earlier, Faith, Sara, Toby, etc. etc. etc. What's more, on Drudge's site today is a blurb about the front man for the Killers taking Green Day to task for their anti-American noise.

Keep the faith.

[SFC D]

Thank God for Beccy Cole and those like her! Now...please pass me the damn kleenex...

[RJGatorEsq]

Oh, man.

My son is over there, in it up to his neck.

And I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, crying with gratitude for him, for the Diggers, and for Beccy Cole, who articulated how I feel way better than I ever could....

Thank you.

[Tungsten Monk]

*applauds* Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Beccy Cole, you're my new hero. Would that the USA had more artists willing to do this- but nooooo, they're too busy espousing "controversial" opinions for the cameras.

Bull. What Ms. Cole has done takes more guts than fifty CDs' worth of leftie propaganda.

[non moron]

what an ugly, nazi XXXX!

hmmm......more war proponents singing about glory. glad it's not their kids right?

[Lucky]

Hey Non Moron,
Please stop talking about your own mother like that in this forum!

[Michael]

Someone pointed out on HotAir that Joan Jett has been rocking for the troops as well.

This is great to see from the Aussies! Truly, they get it better than Europe, or are more brash and bold after Bali.

I'll never forget when the Aussies fought back after some Islamic radicals were hasseling Australian girls for wearing bikinis. The Islamic men think they rule over everyone because of what the Quran states. Islamic men have brutally raped women around the world just because they were "infidels" and to teach them a lesson. It's happened in Sweden, Austrailia, Europe, Africa, Indonesia.

People like Charles just don't get it. We're at war.

In WWII there were songs supporting our troops and everyone pitched in. When men were still men in Hollywood, they supported our troops too. But I guess when you have nothing but girly men in Hollywood, all they fight over is which one gets to go bareback first?

[Lori Craig]

Absolutely beautiful.

[G]

I can't find the citation, but I read somewhere that the only nation that has been boots on the ground alongside of the United States in every war has been Australia.

I LOVE AUSTRALIA

[fretless]

um ... "Dipsy Sh!ts"?

[eavesdropper]

I saw the video, searched Amazon and found the song is a "bonus track" on the CD, "Feel The Fire".

I also listened to another track and it was terrific.

Mike O said Faith Hill or Sara Evans should do a similar version. I doubt if Faith Hill would do it because she doesn't like Bush - she blasted him and blamed him for Katrina...

Sara Evans would be good - she's been to two Hannity Freedom Concerts.

The blogsite Atlas Shrugs 2000 credits "Blackfive" for finding this video.

Thanks so much for sharing it!

And God Bless all our troops, the aussies, brits, and any other country.

"THANK YOU TROOPS"
and
"THANK YOU MILITARY FAMILIES"

you are never NEVER forgotten and we owe you ALL SO MUCH!!!!!

Gosh, that is so inspiring. Good on her!

Anyone know if there is something similar to anysoldierDOTcom and anymarineDOTcom such that care packages could be sent to the Aussie's, the Brit's, and the Canuk's on station?

Walkin' boss is currently persuading the administration at a private school where she works to adopt as many of our warriors as possible, send mail messages, pen-pal sort of stuff along with putting together holiday care packages and what have you.

As four old hippies once said, teach your children well...

[Blue from West Oz]

G'day Guys,

a couple of people have asked about sending messages to Diggers etc....here is a link to the Australian Defence Force website and appropriate section....

[Siergen]

Fantastic! I'm gonna call in to the radio station tomorrow when they ask for requests and try to get her on the air in my town. Any chance that she'd be elligible for one of the country music awards here in the U.S.?

[Kathianne]

That was awesome. I'm going to see if I can't find a cd at Amazon.

[rabid fanatic]

AWESOME

[carlos]

WOW! SHE'S GREAT. I LINKED IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS. I'M GOING TO CALL UP A RADIO STATION AND REQUEST TO HEAR HER SONG. WE NEED TO PASS THE WORD OUT. SEMPER FIDELIS.

[Devin Scherck]

Very classy. Very nice. :)

[Richard Aubrey]

In addition to everything else, she's got a great voice. Terrific pipes. She could do anything with that voice.

Wonderful gal, terrific troops.

Let's hear it for the Anglosphere.

[Pete]

What a great way to give the middle finger to the clueless. Talent, alas, escapes me

[David]

THe Republicans need to get rights to this and take out 5 minutes chunks of time to play this nationaly.

[non-MORON]

WHY DO Y'ALL LOVE nAZIS SO MUCH?

[Crispin Freemont]

non-moron, you're the only one bringing up nazis. You're the one who's obsessed.

Beccy Cole, I love you. Australia, you're the best.

[Richard Davis]

This song deserves some play on American stations.

I sent an email with this link to WXTU, the Country station in Philly.

Maybe if more of us do the same, she'll get some play?

[Lands’nGrooves (aka tim)]

non-MORON? I beg to differ.

[bthun]

LOL... that makes two of us Tim.

If only the trolls would could think of something new to say. Nazi, how imaginative.

BTW, I thought B5 banned (n)m for foul language without the context of any meaningful thought or idea?

Shall we take the necessary steps to trace the non-compliant youngster down and call the nazi youth truancy officers on em?

[Eric]

... excellent... good for her.... and thanks for the heads-up....

[Larry Anderson]

non-moron, you keep using the word Nazis.. I don't think that word means what you think it means..

[Tubby]

It is rare that I get emotional about a music video. Beccy Cole's
"Poster Girl" for me is one of those rare exceptions. The video contains a truly beautiful song about some things in a very complicated war.

P.S.
I found out about this page and the "Poster Girl" video courtesy of the link to it in the comments section of the article, Happy Jerusalem Day! - Friday, October 20, 2006 at Fine Dry Wit

[Tracy]

Chely Wright's song was also written based on something that actually happened to her. Her brother is a Marine and she has a Marine sticker on the "Bumper of her SUV" and some woman in an mini-van flipped her the bird one day and she wrote the song.

I may have to search out a CD by Beccy Cole and make a purchase.

[alexa kim]

I signed her guest book at her website and I'll be buying her CD soon. Thanks for pointing us to it.

What I signed: I just watched your video on Blackfive and was moved to tears. I'm American and I've always loved Aussies. You are good people and I consider America very blessed and fortunate to have you as friends. I have nothing but deep affection and respect for your soldiers too, for helping the world to get a taste of freedom too. Americans get beat up a lot these days, and American soldiers are in danger of being mistreated by, of all people, Americans, when they get home, which makes me ill. At least, sometimes, I can raise my head and look around, and see that America does still have some true friends, and Australia is one of them. Your song to your diggers... well, I wish I could say it right, but I'm out of words that are any good. Thank you for your love for your soldiers and being openly proud of it.

[Feldjaeger]

Man, I watched Beccy Cole and the Army Strong commercial on the same day. That's almost too much good stuff to take in one day...

[Carol]

Made me proud for her. How brave to stand up against all the people who would be cowards. Wonderful!

[Richard]

great song, great singer and great soldiers

from an American officer, the son and brother of American officers

[Mark in Texas]

Outstanding. My Dad was in Australia early in WWII for a while before heading to one island after another. I have always been proud of him. I am proud of this young lady and all the Diggers who are standing with us. God bless Australia!

[Mike]

Absolutely awesome!!!

[Mary*Ann]

The Anti-Chick-Chick...thanks Matt

[joe]

Thank you!

[Bob in Utah]

I spent an evening with some Aussies, drinking beer, while on R&R in Japan, during the time of Korea. They wouldn't even let me buy a round,and I'll never forget those guys. Now we're all in the middle east, and I sure hope our guys learn how great those Aussies are. Gung Ho !!

[redc1c4]

it's $1.29 US to download the song from www.abcshop.com.au – go to Downloads and then search for Beccy Cole.

i know, because i just did.

redc1c4,
who'd consider Oz, except for their gun laws.... %-(

[Pete]

Quick vote... Beccy or Cat Stevens?

Personally, I like 'em both

[Mordrach]

Beccy or Cat (you mean Yusef Islam, don't you?)?

Beccy, hands down.

[Aka]

Aussie chick here , here is the site to send them a message http://www.defence.gov.au/opcatalyst/support.htm

[Chris]

Hiya all,

Great song, great sentiments. BTW, Beccy's song is also available on OZ iTunes site (not sure about USA).

Cheers to the troops - you make us proud.

[Lee]

WOW She actually gets it! I am just surprised that the "rightous" left has not shut down her "evil" views! Keep going Beccy!!

Squirrel - spammers are hitting the post because it's popular. I'll get rid of as much of it as I can.

[bthun]

I'd not recommend visiting an unsolicited url ending in .ru (russia) with a ten foot firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware pole.

[Dolf]

Disgusting how the spammers jump all over this. All she's singing about is supporting her troops, and the numbskulls call her a nazi. That's the left wing for you. Keep notes, freedom lovers everywhere. There will be a day of reckoning, and the left will be the first to be judged. The number one threat to freedom isn't the islamists, but the left wing nutjobs that enable the islamoterrorists to get away with murder.

[AFSister]

I hosted it on my site after seeing it here, but I couldn't get my trackback to work. I'll have to try it again.
This song is in the same vein as the "bumpersticker" song, by the sister of a US Marine. I'll have to find the link.

[Boreal]

> Simply put, it is amazing...turn it up:

Simply put, this song is dreck. Commercial pap. Please, I'm not a C&W kind of guy, but the DCs beat this musically any day of the week.

So what's your beef about dissenting opinions, Anyways? You're all so desperate to latch onto anything that supports your opinion, regardless of quality?

[Blackfive]

Dreck? I disagree. This is a song of quality. So what's your beef about my posting a video that I liked? I can't dissent against asshats?

My site. I get to post what I want. Don't like it? Go pedal your ass somewhere else.

[Richard Davis]

I sent an email (with a link to the video) to the Country station in Philadelphia (WXTU) and received a reply from the morning DJ this morning.

She said she LOVED THE SONG and that she was going to talk to her program director about it.

The system works, send some emails.

(ps - fyi, "poster girl" is the third song to go to Number 1 on the CD "Feel This Free" - which I ordered online)

[Lucky]

I sent an email to WMZQ in DC yesterday, and have not recieved a response. I will keep ya'll advised.

I just went over to XMRadio Highway 16 and requested the song...might be interesting to see what happens if several of us do...

[Pilgrim]

Absolutely fabulous. Beccy Cole will find a place on my CD Rack and my Ipod by sundown today. Good on ya Aussies! God Speed!

Boreal - Strictly musically speaking, I'd have to say the quality of the Dixie Chicks music and Beccy Cole is on par. Both artists are incredibly talented musicians and song writers. The Chicks harmony sends chills down my spine and unlike some of my conservative brethren I can still appreciate their music. I do not have to appreciate their politics or the way they express themselves.

I remember an interview with Toby Keith by Dan Rather...Dan asked Keith about the Iraq fight and Toby said he wasn't sure about it...wasn't sure that invading Iraq was worth it. That was all he said...nothing about being ashamed...nothing about Oil. He continues to visit and support the troops no matter where they are. I'm sure that many other artists across all genres have the same opinion on Iraq...if they have an opinion at all. As long as they are respectful in their dissent and I like their music, I'll buy their stuff. The Chicks were and are incredibly disrespectful in the way they present their position and are seemingly PROUD of it. I won't purchase another CD by the Chicks because I don't want to support them. Ain't free markets great?

[Steven]

I signed the guest book on here site and think we should show her our support by doing the same.

I'm a soldier here in Iraq and have been showing the guys in my unit this wonderful video.

It's nice to know we've got an angel at home (or in Australia) is watching our back.

[gitarcarver]

Sorry to say this, but I am not thrilled with the song. Before you jump on me and claim that I am some troll, all I am saying is that I think that while the song's melody is okay, the lyrics are simple, somewhat contrived and definitely forced. I am not a fan of this song.

That being said, I do like the message that the song conveys. Unlike many "celebreties," Ms. Cole basically is saying "this is what I think and believe, and if you disagree with me, that is okay and I will understand your choice to no longer support me." That is a complete 180 degrees from the Dixie Chicks, Linda Rhonstadt, etc who claim that if people disagree with them and stop buying their efforts, that the people are infringing on their right of free speech and even forcing censorship upon them.

Ms.Cole found on "the wrong side of the world" what many of us already knew - that the men and women of the armed forces put themselves on the line and in harms way to protect others, and at the same time making great sacrifices at home.

I don't particularly like the song, but her method, reasoning, heart and message are spot on, and should be both applauded and supported.

[Thomas W]

Somebody sent me this link as a comment to the debate about the war in Iraq.
I have never heard of Beccy before, so at least she got herself some cheap PR this way. She got one thing all wrong though:
Australia is on the wrong side of the world, Europe (and Iraq) is on the right side. ;-)

[mark mac neill]

just wanted to say what great person that her is
and hope she does great.

[J Jacobs]

Why do people assume that anyone against the war is a liberal or unsupportive of our troops? I support the troops through care pkgs, notes, Operation Homefront, attending funerals, and wearing yellow ribbons but I also oppose this war.

Supporting the troops and rejecting the government's war policy are separate issues. People who think for themselves instead of parroting propaganda can tell the difference.

[Geo]

No, people that can think realize that a reduction in album sales and concert attendance after offending your core audience group (though I think DC"s spat with Toby Keith over this issue hurt them more) isn't censorship or limiting free speech.

Free speech allows you to say stupid things. I does NOT shield you from the side affects of saying it. They weren't thrown in jail or shot, unlike some of their fellow musicians in other countries who would have. All they did was not make as much money, boo-hoo.

They aren't even the original DC... Go David Coulthard!

[Pete]

My 17 yr. old daughter got this link from me.She considers the song "disposable" as in Tommy Roe or Guess Who.

The song isn't the point. Either you get it or don't.

Supporting the troops and rejecting the government's war policy are separate issues. People who think for themselves instead of parroting propaganda can tell the difference.

Why are people who support this war viewed as thoughtless parrots? Do you really think that we have not thought this through, at least to the same degree you have ...

... if not more?

The way we see it, rejecting the government's war policy and support for the troops are not separate issues -- if (1) the enemy is listening, and (2) the rejection is not based upon sound principle and/or is presented with the intent to tear down the credibility of our leaders. If the above is true, the enemy is encouraged to fight longer and harder, for no good reason.

That puts our warfighters at much greater risk, under false pretenses.

That is not "support for the troops", by any definition.

Rich Casebolt - BZ! Well stated!

The following was sent to me by an Active Duty Army Officer (Major) point of view, who said I could use it when needed and I wanted to post it here.

It his explaination of why we are at war in Iraq:

As most folks in the military feel, if you're not supportive of the mission and the Commander in Chief IN THIS CASE, you can't POSSIBLY be supporting the troops. That's not to say that everyone should or does goose-step to the tune of absolutely everything in the war. The difference is the respect that those folks show and that the big picture of the proactive offense against Islamofascists is most important. It's also a reaction to OUR being attacked first.

Here is why we're in Iraq:

Iraq was not "involved in 9-11" nor did anyone claim that. However, here'a a list of what Saddam did:

1) Fund and support Ramzi Yousef as both an Iraqi and al Qaeda operative for the first WTC bombing.
2) Fund and support Abu Saef in the Philippines.
3) Continue to fire on our (US and UK) planes in the no fly zone, after HIS invasion of the sovereign nation of Kuwait >10 years prior.
4) Continue to thumb his nose at 17 UN resolutions and weapons inspectors, after HIS demonstration of the will to use chemical weapons on innocents and in war.
5) Cheat us on the WMDs by flying them into Syria under the guise of a humanitarian mission after a dam break and attempt to use them against Israel, although talked out of it by a high ranking Iraqi Air Force general.
P.S. on that one...we declassified the finding of 500+ rounds of chem weapons from 2003, even though the liberal media keeps reciting their mantra of Bush lying about WMDs to save face and implement current events revisionism.
6) Slaughter at least 1.5 million souls that we know about. Genocide is genocide, whether it's in Darfur (1/4th that number) or Iraq, Nazi Germany or present day Middle East, and irrespective of whether or not we ALSO have econmic interests in the region does not diminish the nobility of the effort. Tell that to Clinton after Mogadishu.
7) Supported numerous al Qaeda personnel and training camps in Iraq predating our invasion. My friends "on tour" in Iraq have seen this.
8) We'll be done in Iraq when we're through with Achmadenijad!

Since a huge percentage of "the troops", myself included, went into the military after 9-11, because of 9-11, it's a hollow gesture to say you support us and not the War because we get it and liberals do not. It's about our own backyards and our own children's futures. As Neville Chamberlain was wrong in his "Peace in Our Time" speech, so is the Democratic Party to think we can negotiate our way out of this Islamofascist threat. It will be to all of our peril to re-enter an isolationist stance. "Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not" (King Aragorn in "The Two Towers"). At least Chamberlain admitted he was wrong and eventually threw his full support behind Churchill.

Liberals cite the cliche, "If the terrorists take away our freedom of (such-and-such), then they've won." No, if they kill my infant son, they've won, otherwise, I'm going to stay in the military and ensure the aperture of their buttholes all match my boot size.

[Dan Collins]

Blackfive--
Great song.
Did you mean "pedal your ass," or "peddle"?

[arrowhead]

WOW! Thanks.

[Danny Kay]

I have friends out in Iraq, wish we had some like her in the UK supporting our Troops..instead we have deadbeats, doing concerts for the Anti War Brigade...good on her and the Diggers in Iraq..I worked with them when I served in HM Forces and they were great mates.

[J Jacobs]

<>

I said nothing about people who support the war. I said people who think for themselves know that NOT EVERYONE who is against it is a Liberal.

<>

I hope so. I respect people who think it through even if we disagree in our conclusions. People who blindly follow the leader without questioning his methods or if troops have what they need...well, they're not helping troops. I see/hear much in my work w/troops & families. Current policy is failing. Troops need a policy change. Our demanding it would prove we support them.

[J Jacobs]

To Rich: In my previous response, your remarks I had in quotes didn't show up. I'm sure you knew what I meant, though.

BTW, my dad was in VietNam as a Marine and a Green Beret. My GrF died in WWII. My FIL served during Korea. My son is graduating from a military Academy & will engage in anti-terrorism. I care about the military! If we're going to do this thing, we need to do it right but there have been too many mistakes. Why is it sacrilege to say we need a new direction?

[Michael]

And the band played waltzing Beccy. Nicely done and fairly played. She's a treasure.

[ArmyWife]

Great song. It brought me to tears. My husband is fighting in Iraq and I am the wife holding tight to her newborn baby and praying that my husband comes home safe after 16 months away. It is such a gift to hear support like that.

[Marshall]

I keep reading how the fighting in Iraq is a failure. The only standard for this seems to be that our evil enemies still fight. As long as our enemies continue to fight, we are failing? If this is the case, and one supported the troops, wouldn't a "change in direction" be more troops, more violence directed at our enemies, a stronger commitment to winning? Say the current direction is wrong, you have a right to the DNC's opinion, but how does retreat honor our soldiers? Soldiers are SUPPOSED to fight, they train for it. Covering your ears with your hands and closing your eyes and saying "Bush lied, kids died" over and over again does not change the fact that our soldiers are on a NOBLE mission, AND THEY KNOW IT. If you really support them you would let them do their job.

OH, Becky's song is awesome!!

[Scott Crawford]

From all us USA Beer Drinkers.. BRILLIENT !!!
Great Song....

[jordan]

I guess the question is, Jacob, where do you draw the line. Once the system has "spoken", i.e., the Congress has nodded ascent (and let's not pretend they didn't), the UN gave a thumbs up (then jumped ship when things got tough as any yellow-bellied, bottom-feeding scumbag would). Troops are committed, they're in battle, fighting and dying. What kind of criticism is going to HELP them without heartening the enemy?

This is why words have to be weighed so carefully in wartime. Of course nobody wants to chill free speech or stop any dissent, just be mindful of the consequences for our soldiers if those words (unintentionally) strengthen the enemy. Those who have to keep that in mind the most are our civilian political leadership.

Keep in mind NVA Gen. Giap's surge in hope upon hearing Cronkite's declaration of defeat and student and Congressional opposition to the Vietnam War. When you're dealing with a ruthless, disciplined enemy, it doesn't take much to keep them fighting. THEY have to be convinced that fighting on is futile, and the homefront can achieve this by presenting a unified front.

The Iraq War is not a failure. It has, however, revealed that the State Dept, Foreign Service, and other civilian arms of the executive branch are the weak link in American power today, and the military can only do so much to pick up the slack.

[dcbryan1]

As an American soldier, I have to say that our Austrailian allies are some of the best soldiers on the planet....and fun as hell to boot! Kudos to our Diggers, and esp. to this brave young woman!

[CT]

This Brisbane-born, former Marine, that just watched his son graduate from MCRD, is damn proud to have my Aussie family able to call this fine woman one of their own. I have a few diggers among my family. And that's why I tell others that Australia is our best allie. They fought alongside us in Vietnam, and now do so in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Gladly trade Beccy for those ditsy chicks. But then again, the chicks have crashed and burned anyway.

[Chuck Hofbauer]

Beautiful, inspiring, and one of the most rewarding songs I have heard in a long time!
As a former United States Marine (1969-1975), I wish to add this song to my collection of morale-boosting music.

Thanks for sharing this music, and the spirit this song presents.

[Jim]

I do not think desention is always bad. The cut and run clammer is bad yes, the Cindy Sheaans yes, but not all desention is bad.

I for one don't care for Rummy and never have, Bush should have sacked him long ago, Rummy is a train wreck in my opinion.

Do NOT think, I don't support this war or want to "Cut and Run"
Personally I think this is likly the opening round of WWIII between the west and Islamo-fasists... So I do support the war effort. I simply have lost faith in Bush for not prepairing us for when this get nasty. For actring like this war isn't a war and not mobilizing for it. Iraq is the side show, Iran-syria are the main events.

In my honest opinion we should have been increasing end strenth (make the army navy AF and marines larger) and we should increase the purchase of equipment. We need to be prepairing to do what is going to need to be done...

[Ben]

Trying to get the lump out of my throat, and wiped the tears from my eyes. Truly the song of the decade, and very much needed. Thank you much Miss Cole, for this very patriotic and inspiring song. Need to get Miss Cole's music to the US if it isn't already. I will be looking for it, and a poster to put on my "wall". God bless Miss Cole, The Diggers, the US troops, and the other countries there doing a job that needs to be done.

[Tas]

I'm an Aussie and I must admit the song brought tears to my eyes. Australia has always, always been there to fight along side our 'mates', the UK and US. I'm can't tell you how proud it makes me feel to stand shoulder to shoulder with our two great allies once again. To quote another Australian song (from WWI):

"Have no cause for fear!
Should old acquaintance be forgot?
No! No! No! No!
Australia will be there!
Australia will be there!"

And I should also say that I'm touched to read all your comments in support of our efforts in Iraq and Afganistan. Thank you!

God Save the Queen and God Bless America!

[J Jacobs]

I appreciate the civil responses to my posts. I listen carefully to anyone wishing to impart wisdom on the subject.
I agree we have GOT to move forward. I want govt listening to experienced generals (if only Rumsfeld had listened to Shinseki, Powell, etc re more troops in 03), advisors w/realtime experience & knowledge of MidEast (not always the case, alas), and sufficient deployments.

I disagree that speaking up helps the enemy. NOT speaking up helps him; he is thrilled that we quietly let Rumsfeld keep making mistakes. That emboldens the enemy.

Our troops need/deserve the best training, equipmt, suppies possible. They never let us down, but we let them down by not demanding they get it. Read the GAO report on LOGCAP, which would sound like bad comedy except it's about real lives--food, housing, laundry not getting to them. And DCMA tries hard, but admits to being overwhelmed by understaffing and poor govt planning.
Thanks for listening. I worry a lot re troops. I'm glad Ms Cole's song heartens them.

[Col Jim]

A great song...the "Waltzing Matilda" of the current fighting. Miss Beccy is a joy to listen to and watch. Always glad to boost the Diggers...interacted with many in VietNam..a good group. To our rational desenters..we hear you and hope you're doing so with the best intentions..not just to project a political agenda. If you want to hear a great anti-war message, listen to Waltzing Mathilda in full. To my Brit, Aussie, other allies..and to our great fighting men and women..we love you and pray for you constantly...keep the faith and keep safe!! From a guy who spent the years from 17 until 54 serving in some goshawful spots..my greatest repect.

Great, good for her an what does the US have? The Dixie Sluts!!

As an Aussie Vietnam Veteran, I know how important it is to be recognised and supported by your fellow Countrymen. We Vietnam Vets had our own 'Theme Song' called 'I was only 19' which was performed by Aussie group 'Redgum'. The song became our theme song and brought a tear to our eyes when played. Beccy's song is as good. All of us should be proud of what our Troops are doing. Thank you Beccy . . you've made an old 'Digger' proud.

[David L]

Not only is she beautiful on the outside, the words that came out in her song, came from her heart and that is on the inside, in essence she is beautiful through and through.

I wish we had girls singing like that during Nam!!

[Aussisoljer]

as a Vietnam Veteran,proud and true,Beckys song was first heard by me a few weeks ago .
Our troops not only in Afganistan,Iraq,Solomon Island,East Timor,Nambibia,Sudan and others should be proud and this son is there theme song like out Only 19 farts,they doing a great job

BUT we must remeber to WELCOME THEM HOME for hey surely doing this country proud,

I visited Australia for 4 weeks in 1984/85, wonderful people, great country! Does anyone
recognize the background of the video that is the stone buildings? I am guessing the Imperial
War Museum in Canberra, Australian War Memorial.

[Anti-Blair]

Troops out now!

Thanks to Bush, Blair and Howard, our bravetroops are fighting a losing battle.

Support our troops: Bring them home, now.

[Jus'fred]

I just heard the first verse and chorus on the Jerry Agar talkradio show, WOR 770 am, New York City. God Bless Beccy!!

[Diane]

I am inspired by this song-and this woman- think this weekend is a good time to have a support the troops care package drive and blast this song and lee greenwoods proud to be an American in front of the anti-war crowd that meets every saturday in our town across the street from our Vets and support the troops team. We need to get out the vote and fire up our side-this song can help-thanks beccy

[Ardeth]

God love and protect the diggers. The entire free world owes immeasurable gratitude, respect and love to the brave military men and women (from all participating countries) who sacrifice to protect us.

[Bruce]

Thank you Becky. I'm a 72 year old CanadIan veteran. You are one of the far too few who get it. May the wind always be at your back,the sun always on your face and the rain gentle on your head. Bruce

[Tom, USA]

This is truly global community, the silent (mostly) majority of good, hardworking people fighting evil. Where ever. When ever. Day in, day out. Thanks all of you with positive comments, attitudes, backbones.
Tom

[Bruce Welder]

Thank you Beccy. As someone who served during the Vietnam war, I can only say I wish we had someone like you back then. I guess Bob Hope's people helped but they never recorded a song.

Don't ever desert the diggers.

[John Robertson]

Canada loves Australians!

[John Robertson]

I've watched this video five times now. What a great tribute to the Aussies in Iraq--and what a terrific retort to the "peace at all costs" Neville Chamberlain disciples and assorted loony leftists.

This video should be mandatory viewing in all Canadian schools--but it will never happen.

Please tour Canada, Beccy Cole. We need you!

[Dolan]

Blackfive, thanks for making this more available. I caught the video at Xavier's with a h/t to you. I've listened many, many times now and it still gives me a fogging up.

To answer Bond R. Milton's question, it looks as though Beccy is somwhere at Victoria Barracks, Sydney. Here's some info from the Australian War Memorial website:

Hello! My friends and I really amused by your work Bred Simpson
This is a very good site. It assists me find lots of information on one site. Usually when I am surfing I can find nothing of the kind I want, but this site, gives me lots of ideas on whatever I need to know about him.

Don't know if you will ever have time to read this far, Beccy, I hope so. This is your Aunt from Canada..though I'm not yet a full fledged Aussie citizen, just want to say how deeply your song has touched me, with the patriotism and compassion, not to mention the simple understanding that separates politics from the realities of war. You write and sing from the heart, and it is fitting that you have been heard, not only on the far side of the world, but, all over the world. We proudly send our love to you.xx

[Curtis Sorensen]

I continue to be so proud that I had the opportunity to take care of soldiers in the field and their families back home. It brought tears to my eyes to hear a beautiful song by a wonderful voice honor the men and women willing to give it all up for their country and their fellow citizens, too many of whom, ridicule and profane their existence.

[JDK II]

I am a Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point New York. I recieved this song via email from a friend at the Pentagon, this song has topped my favorite list, more so then the patriotic country songs about 9/11. I wish the singers in America had the guts to do what Ms. Cole did. If I wasnt in the Army, I would get a dual citizenship and move to Australia. If this site is ever read by Beccy Cole, I want to say thank you, you have touched the lives of so many, with just a 4 minute song. And I look forward to serving with Australian soldiers in the near future.

[G.I.McCartney]

I was in VietNam in 1968. My wife was home having our baby girl. I met my baby girl when I got home, I cry everytime I hear this song.

[Rhonda Boardley]

Thanks for the link to Beccy's excellent song Blackfive. Beccy Cole sings from the heart and expresses herself so well in four short minutes ... what it could take others four long WEEKS to express!

For those who don't agree with the military support currently in Iraq from whatever country ... Beccy isn't asking for you to agree with her sentiments but to accept and support the men and women who have been stationed in Iraq.

Whether or not these people personally believe in the many reasons for which they were sent to Iraq by their own Governments ... they are there ... they are living each day with the fear of death breathing down their necks. I admire their courage and determination to fight for freedom.

Bravo to ALL the men and women serving in Iraq from no matter which country ... and GO AUSSIE GO! My heart is with you all!

[Ed Chew]

Thank you, BlackFive, and all the Bloggers who responded with such positive comments. Our world is involved in a cultural war between Islam and all else. Only the bravery of our warriors and the steadfast commitment to our Western way of life by our politicians will save us. The courage of Beccy is what is needed by many who just don't get it, yet.

["GUNNER" WAGNER]

I SENT BECKY'S SONG (AND BLACK 5s SITE)OUT TO THE MANY AUSSIE, KIWI AND AMERICAN VETS WE HAVE HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES. NEVER WOULD I BELIVE THE 1000% POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM THIS BUNCH OF HARD A**ED FELLOW COMBAT VETS! I'M SURE BECKY'S SONG IS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BY NOW.
WHO EVER RECOMMENDED WE CONTACT RADIO STATIONS IN THE STATES IS RIGHT.WITH A FERW RADIO STATIONS PLAYING HER SONG, WE CAN ALL HELP HER. THIS YOUNG LADY REMINDS ME OF OUR CRIS NOEL WE HAD ON A.F.R.V.N. WHAT CLASS BOTH OF THEM ARE! TWO GENERATIONS APART AND STILL MAKE THIS 24 YEAR CAV. TANKER CRY! I'M SURE THE AUSSIE BLACK BERETS ARE PROUD AS PUNCH.
HAVING WORKED WITH THE AUSSIES IN THE COURTNAY PLANTATION IN NAM,(11 ACR, BLACKHORSE) I LEARNED TO LOVE THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR AND GUTS, EVEN IF I DID WAKE UP TO FIND THOSE DAMN PINK KANGAROO STICKERS ALL OVER MY TANK.
BECKEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A NATIONAL TREASURE! I BET THE BOYS (AND GIRLS) ON THE U.S.S. COLE ARE PROUD TOO!

My father was 7th Marines on Guadalcanal and Peleliu. He spoke often of the bravery and comraderie of the outstanding Australians who helped win that war. May God stand beside and empower our courageous U.S. military, as well as our great allies and brothers, the Aussies, who stand with us. May God help us to utterly defeat and destroy the insidious evil we face in Islam. Thank God for people like this beautiful "Poster Girl." My dad would be proud. Semper Fidelis.

PS: non-MORON
We don't love "nAZIS". That's why we are fighting for freedom.

You must be a "MORON" if you can't figure that out for yourself.

[Les]

Beccy Coles song is fantastic. Don't even mention the Ditzy Chicks and Jane Fonda. Beccy's song brought back old memories of Vietnam. I had a chance to go to Sidney on R&R and did not go. I have regretted it ever since. The Austrailians are wonderful people. God Bless the diggers and Austrailia. Keep up the great work Beccy.

[Bob McKinley]

Sure wish Beccy was around when I was in Viet Nam she could have been our "Poster Girl". Outstanding song, outstanding message. When is Ms Cole coming to America?

[Terri]

Beccy Cole makes me proud to be Australian also.. and thanks to those who posted links for us to send messages to our Armed Forces .. we were in Saudi Arabia during the original Gulf War and our compound was happy to host some American lads for visits .. they do it tough over there, so far from family, friends and all that is familiar .. Well done Beccy!

[P. W. Elliott]

Beautiful singers with great souls are treasures for us all no matter the nationality.

There's a digger somewhere I hope is still hale and hearty; we met through a fence at "Tons-a-Nuts" as he was on his way home in '70 and he was kind enough to send me some motorsports mags from Down-Under.
Remembering him made it much easier to slough off the anti-gun Aussie I met on the internet some 33 years later. For his sake I hope that guy and others of that mind set are never confronted with any situation that would give them reason to change their views.

Best wishes of the coming season to all the good folks in the land of the beautiful opals.

There are times in life we all take for granted, and times in life, that we know, change life forever. In this, A moment of reflection, my soul stirs with the memories of people I’ve met and the visions of years past.
For no amount of pretense, can ever change history and the wheels that were set in motion on 9/11. Operating on the understanding that only time distorts what we remember of these events and history is often written by those who never participated in them.
I often question the wisdom of those who boycott, that in which they have never experienced. Ahhh.... but there’s the rub, that’s the greatness of freedom. It lies within its people, their spirit, the very being of our self awareness, the desire to embrace or reject what is happening to us. It ether forces us to the sidelines or if your have the courage, the fortitude, the ability to, you fight. Whether that fight, is figurative or not, matters not. Freedom requires action.
That ladies and gentlemen is what this is all about! The chance for this and the next generation of Iraqis and other oppressed people to be able to experience freedom. Its ugly, its pain full and the cost are high, but my freedom, my families freedom, my country’s freedom is all worth the loss of my father during vietnam and the twenty years of devoted service I invested of my life and should the need arise my very own life its self , in order to preserve and create this opportunity for freedom.
I wanted to thank you so much for your courage and the song. For standing up for your freedom to support those that do an impossible job in an impossible place. I learned a long time ago it doesn’t matter what country you’re from, it matters, the type of person you are! By your actions and the words of this song, I would truly be proud to call you a friend.
Thanks again and God speed,
signed,
OLD Salt.

[Spud]

From an ANZAC across the Tasman. A song that can pull the heart strings on all soldiers, sailors and airmen and women. My daughter was only 3 months old when I went to Afghanistan and i was 5 when my dad went up to Viet Nam. Yeah I can relate to this piece of music. Good on Ya

The real, but not the only reason the Liberals are against the war is the FACT that they don't give a damn about any ones freedom but their own. And in that vain they are against any war regardless of the cause to fight.

Loved the video and the song. I will see if they are carrying this album in local stores, if not I'll get it at Amazon. I just sent the link to our local Country station KYGO. I hope they pick this song up and play it. Sure beats the hell out of the crap that comes out of the mouths of the Ditsy Sh!ts. God Bless Our All
