SBS continues its series on the SS tonight with
an episode covering the Death's Head batallion, who
sported a skull as their emblem (SBS 8:30)

CNN news showed footage from Baghdad with coalition soldiers
who have revived it, and have it stencilled on their helmets.

George Gittoes recently made a documentary "Soundtrack to War",
showing young American soldiers on patrol playing Death Metal music
as they careened about in armoured vehicles

It aired in America to some 85 million viewers and was shown in
Australia on ABCTV.

A Death Head is a quite common standard.
Used throughout history to champion any number
of political, economic, religious and social crusades.

Some of them, not very nice.

Here's an interesting little read.
