Each 2-pack include two 7' scale action figures and accessories. The Turtles don't stand a chance against these hard headed brutes. Granitor, leaders of the rock soldier army from Dimension X, have come to conquer Earth. When asked about the soundtracks to their war, the mention of a song like “Leaving on a Jet Plane” could trigger tears even in the most closed-in fighters. After being foiled by the Turtles time and again Krang calls in his heavy hitters.
And that’s still the case.Įven decades after the war ended, the two found that the sense-making function of music has remained key for many veterans. They were the ones for whom music became a safe way to access their doubts and emotions. There’s a myth, “consciously propagated in the 1980s,” Werner says, that the hippie protesters were an out-of-touch elite opposed to the war, whereas in fact those who were more privileged tended to support the war while the working-class combat soldiers were the ones who “really put the fear in Nixon” with their anti-war sentiments. Eventually, Krang would be banished from Dimension X as well, but not before being stripped of his. He took the completed Technodrome (a powerful mobile battle fortress) for himself, and then banished Drakus (who helped Krang build it) to Earth. If youre interested in transferring to a new unit, the first step is to identify a vacancy. Krang was originally a warlord from Dimension X who commanded an army of Rock Soldiers under the leadership of General Traag and Lieutenant Granitor. Even songs that weren’t directly about the war - like “ Chain of Fools” - could take on new meaning in Vietnam. Career Management Officers (CMOs) and Army Reserve Career Counselors (ARCCs) recommend that Soldiers change units every 2-3 years to enhance their careers, expose them to different units and show promotion boards that they are not prone to homesteading. Sergeant Granitor (voiced by Pat Fraley impersonating Peter Lorre) Granitor is a high-ranking gray Rock Soldier that is loyal to Krang and works under General Traag. General Traag (voiced by Peter Renaday) Traag is a Rock Soldier general that is loyal to Krang. Upon completion of their Army service, Soldiers participating in the PaYS program will be guaranteed a job interview with the PaYS partner company of their choice. Songs that spoke directly to the war were proof that people were talking about this cataclysmic event, and a way to safely express the ambivalence that many in the field felt. The Rock Soldiers are incredibly strong, but they are not very bright. The Army Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) is a program that connects Soldiers with civilian employers who are interested in hiring individuals with military experience. “Music gave soldiers a way to start making sense of experiences that didn’t make a lot of sense to them,” Bradley says. Plus, the soldiers in Vietnam and those waiting to be drafted needed that music, Bradley and Werner argue.
