I Just Saw "Suck" on CNN
Gary Tuchman reporting from Tallil air base in Iraq pointed out that U.S. troops kept a big mural of Saddam up so they could deface it. He noted the "Mean People Suck" that took up most of Saddam's torso. One pilot interviewed said he had also "tagged" the picture with his call sign, evidently as many pilots had done.
So it is a culture war after all.
