Why did Public Enemy called thier troops the Security of the first world and parade about on stage with uzis? Part publicity and part to visually enforce the politics that thier music embroiled itself in. UR talk about fighting the programmers by deprogramming the population through sonic assaults, the idea of them being soldiers just enforces this message. Personally I don't take it all 'too' seriously, but the whole mythology that surrounds the entire UR camp (including Drexciya, The Martian etc..) does add a certain dialogue to thier music which, for me, does actually enhance it.
