marine's hymn
i've always liked the marines. probably cause they're such serious badasses. knowledge gained from firsthand experience on the wrestling mat. anywho, i was thinking about their theme song. specifically the line about the shores of tripoli which refer to the first american military operations on foreign soil. jefferson was tired of paying tribute to pirates. deducing rightly that it was self destructive behavior and would encourage more attacks on american ships. anywho, you can google all about it. i'm thinking the song needs to be brought up to date. as g sings it: from the halls of mon-teh-zoo-MAH-ha to the shores of somali.
