Friday Night Video: Unfinished Business With The Dixie Chicks
Cpl. David Thibodeaux singing “I’m Not Ready To End The Fight” with Toby Keith’s Easy Money Band on backup.
Cpl. David Thibodeaux was in Iraq with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, when the Dixie Chicks partnered with anti-war group MoveOn.org in 2004. Despite the band making headlines with anti-war views, he didn’t know much about them, he says.
Nevertheless, Thibodeaux now sings “Not Ready to End the Fight,” an “answer song” to the Dixie Chicks’ 2006 anti-war hit, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”
“I’ve seen so many good things happen in Iraq, and I don’t think it’s time for the war to end,” said Thibodeaux, a member of the Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force. “Anybody who doesn’t think there are terrorists out there should open their eyes.”
What he lacks in artistry (it sounds little rough) he makes up for in heart.
Well done, Corporal.
