"The artist compares their role to that of soldiers in our socity, how we flaunt words such as 'bravery' and 'sacrifice' ... separated from the very visceral tasks soldiers undertake to earn such respect killing people."</div> <div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ACUna3ebgfQ/ST024AZMoLI/AAAAAAAAAdw/bLXXD1UH_Ew/s1600-h/Louisville+21C+McSurgency.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277434674154348722" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ACUna3ebgfQ/ST024AZMoLI/AAAAAAAAAdw/bLXXD1UH_Ew/s320/Louisville+21C+McSurgency.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ACUna3ebgfQ/ST02m5NvjvI/AAAAAAAAAdo/GQ0ZZMp9VAQ/s1600-h/Louisville+21C+Bear+art.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277434380169481970" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ACUna3ebgfQ/ST02m5NvjvI/AAAAAAAAAdo/GQ0ZZMp9VAQ/s320/Louisville+21C+Bear+art.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" /></a> </div> <div><div>Barack Obama and John McCain were prominently displayed in the lobby too.
