  • Sad... and weird that this is the only country song I love<3

  • Im a member of the us army with a girl back home this hits home hard heres to all the other guys and girls going through this.

  • it makes me cry

  • I love the story this song tells:)-3

  • Love it

  • best female country group Natalie has the greatest voise. country has changed alot i enjoy more of the 90's and early 2000 than the crap they have out now.

  • Mr. Denmark..get your English translation right! Listen to the song,no political message..it's about a VietNam era lonely soldier boy wanting to write a girl back home. Many young men were "drafted",.means they were snatched right outta the HS & into the armed forces. Many stupid Americans totally disrespect &bandoned these guys ( as if they had a damn choice in the matter to give their life for....what?) They even spit on 'em when they came back home! No political message just a beautiful song!

  • It is a brilliant song! It's bout Viet Nam but can be applied to today! It's a tear jerker for me as it hits home bout the soldier boy wanting someone back home whom writes to him. My BF to this day is MIA(VietNam) . One day the letters just suddenly stop & you know what happened without even asking! The parents nor anyone has ever found out! So sad....I feel sorry for all

    our boys overseas, I feel like they're "my kids" too! Beautiful song gals!!! LOVE IT

  • If you're going to exercise your right to free speech, excercise it on your own turf. And then accept that others will excercise it too.

  • NO MATTER what the message is of the song, it's a beautiful song - here in Denmark, the political messages dont mean SHIT - just the lyrics & the music - besides that this song was made before it got a political meaning for anyone - just what people makes it to be - I LOVE THIS SONG - NOT THE MESSAGE.

    Americans cant take the political resistance, when it's shown to their faces - but outside USA, WE LOVE THE DIXIE'S :-) no matter what.

  • @storm. Dude u need to watch it. Some of us actually defend the country. If it wasn't for us bombers an crap woulda already killed ur sorry butt. K. Keep ur coments to urself.

  • Good song but i cant help but laugh at the nationalistic frenzy it brings with all those comments. It's double funny when you think of the joke of a war it's talking about, and all the brainwashed idiots that fall in the trap and say stuff like "died to defend the country". lol WHAT DEFENCE? It gets even more funny when people bring the current wars the US is fighting into this. Not really something to be proud of.. but still sad for the guys that have to die in a land they have no buisness in

  • as an former soldier and ageing singer, this song is so powerful, and you can tell she singing from the Heart, thank you, dixie chicks, be proud what are, no matter what they say, and thaks again from ageing kiwi country rocker

  • i would like to add, our military personnel are priceless and anything less than our utmost gratitude for what they do is selfish. They sacrifice, unfortunately at times with their life, so people like me can express opinions, agreed with or not!!!!

  • i like the chicks and this is a powerful song, but they are black listed by the public not the government. making comments on foreign soil apparently was beyond what the american public was willing to accept. would they have made the same comments in front of an american audience? if not then one needs to question the sincerety of their conviction...

  • I Made This Video To Show That No Matter What People Say, They Still Should Have A Right To Their Own Opinion. It Doesn't Matter If It Was About A President Or Not ! They Don't Need To Be Judged By What Their Beliefs Are! (I'm Writing This From My New Channel)

  • @elliottmpaul Im a vet of the Air Force first then the Army, i was so Pissed when She made that comment i trashed all DC CDs. But then i had a clear moment. I spent 7+ years fighting for Freedom and under that Banner is to have the right so say what you think!! I still dont like what she said but no i respect it

  • She was right, Bush was a fucking idiot! Just enjoy the music.

  • 22 dislikes ?

  • I served for the right that these woman have to say what they believe. Agree or disagree. They HAVE the right. Music has ALWAYS been an outlet for protest and support, Always. So why not now? Because of a bunch of fake opportunistic patriotism after 9-11? If your so patriotic. GO SERVE. Where were you in '68? I live in small town now. After 9-11 a good third of our graduating class signed up and are still signing up as they graduate. We are VERY proud of them.

  • iam wondering if you have forgotten that you are Americans...you should be defending there right to say what they want if you agree with it or not. the way this turned out we might just owe them an apology...and last time i looked they werent running for office..so whos brainless now?

  • @thedman631 That would be you.

  • The Dixie Chicks are great !!! so why the fuck are they blocking their songs ?? Idiots they need to go get a life !!!great song !! fucking love it with no apologies !!! <3

  • Yess! Thanks for all this versions of Travellin soldier. This group is so great, i never be tired of them! Erik

  • @HighMomentum1

    There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING more American than speaking out against the government when you feel they are wrong. NOTHING! Not apple pie or baseball or mom's meatloaf not one GOD DAMNED thing. What's un-American is blasting someone for practicing their right to free speech. Do us a favor and go kill yourself, make room for someone useful.

  • @z3r0t0l3r4ns Yell "Fire" in a crowded theater and see how there is a limit to your freedom. Plenty of people diss'd GW, but they MEANT it. No repercussions. Maines ADMITTED it was an insincere JOKE. It is one thing to speak your mind, quite another to pander for profit. Do us a favor and try functioning at a higher level.

  • @z3r0t0l3r4ns its a great song no matter what the politicle view is my view is george bush was a tosser anyway and exactly where were those wepons of mass distruction? errrmmm anyone just goes to show ya the dixie chicks were nt to far off base with there views either i feel for all the soldiers and there families who lost there lives over propergander and and not just in this case in all cases of war R.I.P to all who gave there lives for money and oil with out noing it

  • @z3r0t0l3r4ns yeah that's why you elected bush two times ofcourse....

    un-american is blasting someone for practicing their right to free speech?

    don't make me lauch! isn't that what you yankee's did in: Vietnam, korea, palestinia, afghanistan, irak and pretty much every middle eastern country?

  • @z3r0t0l3r4ns this was a good response until the go kill yourself part. seems a bit contradictory dont you think?

  • have not heard this song in years, thank you I really do love it

  • Dear fat girl,

    Nothing about Obama bombing Libya?

  • Great tune!

    It's because of us fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan that keeps The Dixie Chicks safe from more attacks in order for them to be Capitalists and make more money off of their music!

  • I'm waiting for the love of a travelin soldier...He's been gone since November, he comes back for a month in may, then deploys for 7-8 months...I'll still be here when he gets back. He's without a doubt my world, and true love waits.

  • I'm a british soldier. Unless you've been there, and know exactly what your talking about, stop jumping on bandwagons. Its just a brilliant song, thats all.

  • Dixie chicks rules! They make country music . . .hip and cool!

  • love this Song

  • I don't necessarily agree with their political views, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy their music? They have lovely voices and they use them well. Most of their songs are really good. If you have an issue with them...why are you watching a music video by them? That's just dumb to me, don't bother viewing something if you're just going to hate on it. You have political views, they have political views. It doesn't matter if you agree. Enjoy it for what it is, or don't listen at all.

  • if anyone can trash this song, good luck, its the best song by them

  • watch toby kieth dis!

  • Wonderful Song !

  • i love them all

  • wow. kind of a thin light between all the hateful music i normally listen to.

  • This is an EXCELLENT cover to this song. Artist: Cory Marquardt

    Check it out! Appreciate it guys! View this guys page!

    ------>  Marqu17 <------

  • Great song!

  • this song is awesome 

  • I like the song. I like the video. I enjoy the talent the artists display. I lived through what they sang about. I buried a brother from the war in Viet Nam. I still miss him, a lot. There was much waste in what happened over there. Waste of dollars, waste of a generation, waste of political energy, and waste of over 58,000 lives, and over 250,000 maimed. It will forever be remembered as a time of such great waste and sorrow. The song protrays it well.

  • Beautiful song.

  • Why can I only find the live versions on youtube? Just cause I live in Sweden? All my fav clips of good versions don´t work for me anymore :/ Anyone with non-live versions of this one and you were mine, both with dixie chicks?

  • GO DIXIE CHICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Get the fuck out of Europe Yankees, take your Re-Education, your Multiculturalism,

    your "democracy", and your Soldiers with you!

    1488!

  • acualy its your fault usa! you made us fight you bastards my cousin died for your war idiots

  • i love them

  • Hi, I just wanted to say the Dixie Chicks are going to be playing at a Library near you!

  • @SingJiya Actually 2 of them just cut a new CD that is doing very well. They are touring with Lilith Fair and have headlined many other tour dates this summer, Selling out the venues. Enjoy living in your mom's basement.

  • @garic2k the court yard hounds rock!

  • @garic2k Hate to tell you this but nobody buys CD's anymore, they may as well be selling Cassette's. Its all about the Mp3 Bro. Lilth Fair sounds about right, is that a tour of all the Fair Grounds in the Middle East?

  • ich mein du musst ein paar Bilder Hochalden ist es so schwer das in ner Guten Qualität zu machen ?

  • God Bless The Chicks This is land of the free!!!! I think?

  • i love this song :'(

  • i like cookies too! : ]

  • screw these sorry bimbos_ they belong to the same club as Jane fonda Hope they all rot!

  • @lawrobt

    You are pathetic. As an "In Country" Viet vet I can tell you that war sucks and not the Chicks. They are a great talent, and the song says it all. It is the little man from small town Texas or Alabama or the son of an unemployed steelworker in Youngstown, Ohio who goes to fight these stupid wars. We average Americans pay with our dollars and our blood. And for what. So the big fat cats get richer on military contracts.  Widows, mothers and girl friends cry and get a flag. BFD

  • @kastellos And the fat cats that were the Dixie Chicks used this song to capitalize on the controversy Natalie Maines created by bashing TK's song. History lesson: Natalie bashes TK's song while it was #1 and they were stalled at #14. They immediately RE release this song, which hadn't done well earlier. It went to #1. A few months later, she figures bashing worked so well, they would try it in London. This song fell off the charts in a week. They haven't won a popular vote award since. Failures

  • @Therealmensa I agree money is money, but I don't believe the bashing of Keith's song was motivated by money - a number of people bashed his song. Moreover, the "wrap yourself in the flag" jingoism so prevalent among C&W fans would indicate that it was Keith who was riding a wave. In fact, the Chicks were lambasted in the small town and C&W media for bashing Keith. The success of the re-issue was due to it being a very good and moving song.

  • @kastellos Name the people who bashed his song when it was #1. You'll find only one name on that list, Natalie Maines. The "jingoism" you refer to is rampant in this song, re-released immediately after Nat's bashing. Oh, of course THIS SONG couldn't be flag wrapping, now could it? LOL. You're a hypocrite. The small town didn't lambast the Chicks after her comment. If it was such a great song, why did it not make the charts when they first released it? The success was over sensationalism.

  • @kastellos well said. and thanks.

  • I support the troops,lets stop arguing.America needs us to be UNITED.lets support our country.Democrats and Republicans,Independents.Unite­d we will win,divided! I dont know!

  • i like cookies.

  • The chicks NEVER EVER said they don`t support the troops - they just didn`t support the president - missvioletskya,you`re right - America`s got a new president and that is good this way!

  • @enricojustin1981 "We got a new president and that is good..." You guys are kidding, right? Did your mother have ANY children that lived? Do you practice at being stupid, or does it just come naturally? In my humble opinion, this "good new president" is a walking, talking, empty-suit, disaster. And my kids and grandsons are the ones who are going to pay the price. You boys, too.

  • Guys. LIsten. This is not a video for politics, this is a video for a song. A beautiful song. Don't fucking ruin it by trashing the Dixie Chicks. This whole thing was 7 years ago. Take a break. You have a new president. And don't fucking reply back about politics or something like that, because I really won't care.

  • so true, but no matter what u say, there will always come a discussion. even if u say: i like cookie's. trust me i tested it.

  • @missvioletskye I agree though i'm not American i'm a New Zealander but i agree AMEN

  • @missvioletskye You may not reply to this, because you don't care, and that's your problem, that's America's problem. They don't care. The TRUTH is blatently in front of us, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore, 9/11 was a conspiracy, and the government is playing us.. All the presidents.. New or old, most are the same, they just play us, all corrupt assholes who want money and power. Nothing else. Capitol Hill also needs fixed. Anyway, This is a great song, I ♥ this song, oorah!

  • @missvioletskye This is a make up song,

    1).She dogs the President of the United States

    2). People smash there Cd's

    3). Her Band Mates tell to say sorry, she says no.

    4). Everyone starts losing there House's

    5). She Watches Toby Kieth Sing about the Red White and Blue

    6). So she comes up with a plan to make a patriotic song, but it doest work.

    7). No they are playing at Country Fairs and libraries in the Middle East.

  • @SingJiya Actually this song was made before they bashed bush....Just pointing out where your facts are flawed.

  • @SingJiya this is not a make up song. this song was written before the whole incident ever happened, in 1999, and put on their album in 2002. The incendent was in 2003. Please, get your facts right.

  • @missvioletskye Yeah right! They are totally against war and fighting, people dying for their country. Why would they sing about something they dont believe in?

    They like the Oil Hungry country to come in kill all men and children and rape the women, thats what there into and that is exactly what Bush was preventing. That is why all of AMERICA is against the Dixie Chicks.

  • @SingJiya Do I honestly have to repeat myself? I don't give a damn about your THEORY. New president. New politics. 7 years. This sound familiar?

    They were a COUNTRY BAND. They weren't politicians. They were stating their opinion. Right after the whole incident, people started claiming theories like yours and started hating on them. They weren't out there to preach about war, they were out there to sing. To play music, and make people happy from their music.

  • @missvioletskye they were out there to sing. To play music, and make people happy from their music. They weren't politicians. They should of did what they came to do, not wash cars, Weld, sell Donuts, just sing and they would of been alright but no they had to dog America, United States, President. Who do they think they are, just because they got a little fame. So how it could be striped from them, dont mess with AMERICAN MAN!

  • @SingJiya Wow. Well said. That just about sums it up. In another few years, it'll be "The Dixie... Who?"

  • @missvioletskye I COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!! AMEN

  • @missvioletskye

    This is not always about american politics. This was the song of my people back in afghanistan. Its not always about american soldiers. I've lost a lot of friends in this god dammn countrie. So whats the point? Heard the song when we went down there and heard it on my way back. I still love it. It remembers me of those who are not whith me to listen to it today.

  • @missvioletskye  amen sister

  • @missvioletskye mostly those who make political comments here are Bush's solid fans and they're just as dumb as the puppet they support, so don't mind of it.

  • @missvioletskye I am soo tired of people trashing Dixie Chicks! They were exercising their right of freedom of speech!! I am a 1st generation American & I do not take 1 minute in this country for granted!! After the Super Bowl there were people questioning the significance of the National Anthem!!! WTF is that?

  • It is hardly just for the oil... do you not remember 9/11. You should support the troops no matter what. they are fighting for your freedom.

  • Muslim extremists do not represent an entire country any more than your oppinions represent all americans :)

  • @aparashoudis Go back to the middle east! We (america) lost over 3000 good and innocent people in 1 day to the animals you feel sorry for. Screw you

  • @aparashoudis I agree completly with what you are saying.

  • @aparashoudis you are a cocksucker how dare you fucking say that i am a soldier they are no innocent the onea who blow my buddies up only care about the oil and the wealth that they want to keep for themselves i have been over there are some innocents but not many HOOAH

  • @aparashoudis Put your evidence on the table or shut your dumb ass mouth. If this is such a butt hole country, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, Prick, RAG-HEAD!

  • @joepilot48 Daaaamn Joe Pilot. I thought you were a good christian. This doesn't sound very christian. It sounds like a man full of hate and anger towards another culture. You know, I coulda sworn that in Sunday school they told me about love and understanding. Not idiocy and ignorance. Truly, you are a prime example of your average under-educated, over ignorant Christian American. It's kinda funny that a "rag-head" actually comes from the land of your savior. Shouldn't you be going?

  • @lchivy Do your homework before you embarass yourself with another stupid comment. Only ARABS wear the kufiya, not Jews. Me? Ignorant and an idiot. Christ was a JEW, not an Arab. And like most intellectual cowards, you did NOT put your evidence on the table about US Soldiers "killing all those innocent people." So like I said, if you want to "blame America first," that is your right. But don't expect anyone with an IQ higer than room temperature to pay you any attention. RAG HEAD. :)

  • @joepilot48 ... i love you :D lol spoken like a GENIUS!!! :D

  • @aparashoudis . so them shooting at my buddies first makes them innocent. huh .. all im saying is support the troops we dont have a choice were we go

  • @aparashoudis I live on army base, with kids who are used to that shit... many are fatherless. It's tragic.

  • @aparashoudis I live on army base, with kids who are used to that shit... many are fatherless. It's tragic. I still hope that my dad in Afghanistan is still okay.

  • @Mwdb57 So, dad dies in combat.... and the family just keeps on living on the army base...right? You're such a stupid ass-clown.

  • i love the dixie chicks, i have since i was little, i hear theis song and i literally start to cry because i think of all my family in iraq and yes please support our troops !

  • this is such a good song.i cry everytime i hear it.we should all support out troop every second.^_^ LOVE THE SONG!~!~!

  • every time i hear this song i sart to cry.

  • haha love this song, but 4.20???? :D :D :D

  • i know so many people in the service and i support them every day

  • lol 4:20

  • wtf nobody has a smile that big photoshoped? that shit is funny at 4:20

  • I am proud of all the soldiers fighting for us! Go army!

  • this song is good. It gets that insperation out of you and makes you want to cry.

  • I compleatly agree! the first time i heard this song, i totally started bawlin the first time i heard this song!

    But it also makes me hate war, the deaths.

    It was so cool--yesterday, during our garage sale, a woman who had stopped by, got a call tellin her that her husband was comein home from Iraq...for good.

  • my friends and i are singig this for our chorus concert!!! we are really good

  • god bless all our men and women who bravely chose to serve our country.we have lost 3 of our family members and i pray no one has to ever go thru that and for those who have god bless you and you will always be in my prayers.......

  • God Bless all the Soldiers! I love song! I hope all the families of the soldiers are ok and I hope they will be ok!

  • Love this song so much , I know all the words ! But around like 4:12 is that really her smile ? Its huge ! But thats a good thing , at least shes happy . Theese are the kindof songs i think more people should be wrighting instead of ones like dying .
