22 cargo cult songs – 23

nsw folk revivalist, performer, and folk club organizer len neary suggested the title of this coding after I had sung 'one day/silver bird' to him over the phone.
 he named this coding accurately.
 the songs in this coding highlight the altruism and non-materialist nature of service life compared to the materialistic and 'hyper real' (sociologist gonzalo puig, nexus tasa newsletter, 2003) consumer, narcissistic, postmodern western society.
 it is worth noting that less than a tenth of the world population … much less, live in this type of society;
 the paradigms of post modern society make it difficult at political, social and organizational levels for members of that society not to appear as their superior's in their dealings with traditional societies unless the military is used as an interface in dealings with those cultures.
