So wheres the rest of it?
I for one am Glad he didn't type out the entire 12 days the way the song is sang. . .it would have been a very long read, not bad though all in all.
It would be great if you used recordings of actual quotes by the folks mentioned. (may be hard to find one of Cheney saying "Attack Iran" but I'm sure there's one out there somewhere)
I am positive I once heard a song that was the 12 Days of Vietnam and part of it was "On the first day of Vietnam, my CO gave to me...."
Does anyone else know to what I am referring?
