Raucous and obnoxious metal like tribute to the virtues of mayhem within the Vietnam war. Some found it offensive while others saw brilliance within such songs as "VD not VC" and "My M16 weighs a ton". For shows, Pacific Islander Pat Bucayu would be led out onto stage wearing a noose and then was satirically ridiculed by their beer fueled front man, Ben Brinkhop. Brinkhop used the stage name Lt. William Cally who in real life, commanded American forces in Vietnam and ordered the My Lai Massacre of 1968.
Yeah, these guys had problems. But it sure was funny.
