ARLINGTON, Va. – A soldier put his anger at being sent back to Iraq in a rap song. The military, however, did not think it was fun or creative.

After a 14-month tour of duty in Iraq, Army Specialist Marc Hall was supposed to be re-deloy but now he’s in a Fort Stewart, Georgia jail. The military has charged him with misconduct for a rap song threatening to kill members of the military.

On part of the song by Hall, also known as hip hop artist Marc Watercus, says: “Like Obama said, somebody be held responsible. But some of y’all gonna be held in the hospitals.”

The language is explicit and Specialist Hall further made his point by mailing his song to the Pentagon.

“I got a (expletive) magazine with 30 rounds, on a three-round burst, ready to fire down Still against the wall, I grab my M-4, spray and watch all the bodies hit the floor. I better, you never stop loss nobody no more,” he also says in the song.

Contacted by the group Iraq Veterans Against the War, Washington D.C. lawyer James Klimaski insists the military has overstepped by jailing a soldier for music.

“Here’s someone who’s put it into a song and sent it out to everybody, everybody knows it, so it really was political speech. I mean, it’s hyperbole, it’s not real. Nobody can expect that,” said Klimaski.

There are now numerous websites defending Hall’s right to free speech. Hall says he’s merely a political artist with an agenda. He says at the top on his list is ending the Army’s stop loss policy.

In the song, he says, ” You know, the Army is the only branch of the Armed Services that still got the stop loss in effect, so the only thing I gotta say is prepare for the consequences.”

In a statement to Stars and Stripes newspaper, the Army says Hall has threatened violence on numerous occassions and that they have a duty to protect others on the base. He is charged under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which gives the Army lots of leeway to charge anyone whose actions bring “discredit upon the Armed Services.”
