Thanks, DueceZero, first for your service, and secondly for your kind words about the comic. I’ve received mixed criticism on these comics, but I think the opinions that matter most to me are actual soldiers. This story is an amalgamation of tales I’ve heard from Iraq war vets and little personal tips of the hat to them and their stories.

I am a soldier currently serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and must honestly admit that I never heard of your band till I deployed. I came across your music through word of mouth (you guys are pretty popular with the troops) and have become a huge fan. Most of the television shows, movies, novels, and other various forms of entertainment media have done a substandard job of relating to our men and women overseas but your comic is a relatively close depiction of what we experience emotionally after returning home. I have served on 12-15 month deployments, lost friends, and endure the emotional and physical hardships of combat. It is refreshing to see mainstream artists who stay true to their beliefs and not shy away from publicly supporting our men and women in combat. Thank you for being the voice to those who cannot openly share your sentiments.

hey guys im very impressd with the comic and music and the fact that you are willing to stand up for wat you belive in. in this day nd age it takes a brave soul to do that. anyway, ive spent the last 2 years trrainin 2 b a chef & im lookin 2 join the army by the end of nxt year (as a cook). i am doin this to support the ppl that r willin 2 try nd make the world a better place.
If the footsoldiers were in charge of the armies there would be alot less war.

Hey DJ Great work with this series of comics. I just found them and they are pretty amazing. Its funny cause I dig the flobots plus I read HBN so finding a web comic with the two combined was pretty cool. Anyways keep up the work and I plan on reading more

The sad thing is that they didn’t do it for all of us they did it for the current administration. Granted they have no choice in the matter but saying they did it for all of us implies that we benefit in some way from their actions. I haven’t seen anyone but Haliburton or Blackwater benefit yet.

You may want to check into the show Generation Kill which was recently aired by HBO. I don’t know if there’s any way to obtain it legally at the moment. It was a very interesting show based on the stories of a group of Marines over there in 2003.
