Unsourced criticism
[edit]Under the heading "Criticism", it states "Some, such as the Village Voice newspaper, have criticized the Carabao as a "good ol' boys" club whose military-industrial complex membership displays imperialistic, racist, and homophobic overtones. The nature of the event is that of a 'roast' similar to the Gridiron in which all current news topics are considered subject to well-intentioned caricature." This claim is unsourced, bordering on the libelous, and therefore does not conform to WP's standards. It needs to be provided with sources or I'm going to remove it.

"The Soldier's Song": Source, variant, and finding this song
[edit]I just added a mention of the tune used, Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The article mentions a book under "Sources" which is a fine source for the tune:
"Historical sketch, constitution, and register of the Military order of the Carabao together with songs that have been sung at "wallows" in various places." edited by Military Order of the Carabao, Publisher: W.F. Roberts Co., Washington, D.C.,1914.
The song is on page 126, but I don't know how to add the citation. Would someone please do this?
There is a variant that has a line even more racist than the same line in the version noted above. Instead of "Damn, damn, damn the Insurrectos," the variant goes "Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos." This variant is already in Wikipedia here.
When looking this up, I tried Soldier's Song without success. Does someone know how to add this reference to the disambiguation page? Oaklandguy (talk) 07:29, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
