I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I love Otis Redding now I've got to make a playlist.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

On what grounds did they ban it?
No nudity, violence or swearing at all in it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Hey Stimpy!
It was banned as a result of lobbying (bullying) from the Christian Right (Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell.... I grew up in Virginia.)
In the 1980's they really had a grip on power and did indeed influence much of what was aired in television.
This video was not banned, but was delayed nearly a year in airing... same lobby (bully) was bitching about it. The beginning of the 90's things began to change... kind of exposes them for what they really were.

In the 80's the religious right (Moral Majority) supported a position of ignorance and zero tolerance when it came to criticism. It seemed to support their "bliss" at the time. If anyone thinks it's bad now... think again!

btw... I was once fired from a job at a minigolf due to my opinion about abortion. It was in a discussion outside of the workplace, but my boss caught wind of it. I was considered not to be of proper moral standing to work in such a family environment. There were really no clear cut channels to fight against such an obvious discrimination. It is much better now, but the process of adaptation is a continual one.
