Floridian: Iraq 'n' roll
This is so awesome, though I have to admit, Taranto (who gets the h/t for this article) makes a good point - it'd be poetic justice if they played "Born in the USA" by Springsteen, switching it up with a little Dixie Chicks (I'm thinkin' "Earl Had to Die").
But AC/DC is a very appropriate soundtrack to kicking a little "insurgent" hiney. What can I say, other than...
Rock On, man. Rock On.

Remember, "Born in the USA" isn't a patriotic anthem. It was a response to Reagan-era politcs, authoritarianism, and the widening gap b/w the haves and the have-nots. When Reagan decided to use it as his re-election campaign theme, The Boss politely, but firmly, told him to shop around for another song.

Which just emphasizes for me the poetic justice aspect of it.

And, oh, yeah, Vietnam belongs in that list, too.
