      Military personnel are merely pawns of the political class. I wish more people would understand this. The yare sold lies of fighting for freedom. Fighting for freedom means fighting Americans that would take it away. Not killing people in 3rd world dumps. People in 3rd world dumps want to kill Americans because politicians send soldiers to kill them. It's a never ending cycle that politicians won't break because it makes them money and they get their thrill from controlling peoples lives.

      @Zachary Trent absolutely right. And as I often say, everyone worshiped Lars - and rightly so - and nobody ever gave him a hard time or a bad write-up until Napster. Then it became cool to be a Lars hater. I can’t imagine a single drummer who has had more global influence than this goofy Danish tennis player. People are absolutely green with envy, and it shows. Lars is a man among men, and freaking nobody loves fans more than he does. He’s an amazing human being and my life is vastly better for his being in it. Oh, and he was spot on about Napster, too

    This was meant to be the title for the album, but obviously it was changed to "Puppets".
    The crosses, helmet & dogtags are a perfect visual reference to Disposable Hero's.
    Personally speaking one of the best songs they wrote, it throws ye from one end of a room to the other, then back again for the hell of it. This will always be a classic Metallica work of art. ☠️🤘

    James and Kirk were 22 Lars was 21 and Cliff was 23 at the time. Which is even more crazy that they were so ahead of their time as kids and able to record what many would say is the greatest Metal album of all time.
    Master of Puppets was the first metal album to be included in the Library of Congress as a significant album that changed music. It is to be saved for posterity.

At the time I was in, soldiers were expendable. A company was allotted a certain amount of, for example, corporals. If a corporal got "expended", we simply ordered a new one. It is different now though because of the amount of training involved to build a soldier.

    Being a veteran from that time period (I served from 1987-1994) I can say on the one hand that this song was my anthem after I spent my first few years in uniform and HATED that I was the property of the US Government. But now, so many years later despite what I did not like my time in service, my overall feeling of that time is one filled with pride and I am glad I did and would gladly do it again. But There were very few cowards and no one blindly followed anyone. We followed orders but often enough we didn't always agree with them. I've seen plenty of guys face disciplinary action for questioning or disregarding orders they considered unlawful. Still an awesome song, but it is a rather shallow view of what it's like to actually be in the military...at least how it was in the late 80's early 90's
