COUNTRY JOE - Support The Troops

[littlegirlsatan]

i get drunk and cry about this sometimes. like now.

[P47RICK]

People who really love the troops want them to come home.

[mara235]

Fine song - my son is in Iraq , 1st cav. division. Haven't heard from him in weeks. God bless the service men and women who are out there in all of this - brave volunteers all of you.

[bebofran]

I would like to post on many comments. Dont you dare take it out on the guys serving, I hate this just as much as the next person

[Miketti]

Oh god how beautiful song this is. Country Joe is still doing great work after 40 years.

[octomedusa2]

Good to hear from you again!!!!!!God Bless You!

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

FUCK THE WAR

FUCK THE WAR

FUCK THE WAR

1,2,3 What are we fighting for?

[Kumicho]

For starters good. its really not a "war" anymore. it is more or less a reconstruction. Most of our military power is used to help train, re-establish economy, re-build infrastructure and increase better relations with Iraq and Afghanistan. If you ever vist these countries you'll realize that these people have nothing good sir. they do no have computers and internet to blast pp on youtube. I for one feel blessed that I can give back to these countries.

[PeterCRissKISSgod]

you know,

when i was 18, i sat in a drive-in theater watching woodstock (country joe doing feel like im fixin to die) and right at that moment..took out my draft card, and a lighter, and set that son of a bitch on fire.

FUCK THE WAR!!!

[zakcr440]

America f*ck yeah! Fighting for your fr33dom!

Football yeah! Water torture yeah! Brittney yeah! Failing dollar yeah! Illegal alien invasion yeah! MSG Food yeah! Throwing puppys off cliffs yeah! Hijcakers trained at US bases yeah! WTC 7 yeah! 1 million dead in Iraq yeah! Mercury in vaccines yeah! Gun confiscation yeah! FEMA Camps yeah! Mafia McCain yeah! Students tasered yeah! Republican homosexuality yeah! Bohemian grove yeah! False flag terror yeah! Torturing dogs yeah!

[OleoStrut71]

No longer do you see the yellow ribbons or the flags that flew in numbers.

Americans wised up because they finally realized our "Commander in Chef"(cooked up Lies)turned out to be a pathological liar to attack innocent Countries and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent People.

"Not in my name and NOT my President!"

[OleoStrut71]

Woodstock, Kent State, Country Joe was a big influence on me when I was Drafted.

Here I was in the Army and fighting against the War, that our Government unleashed upon an innocent people and their Country.

My helmet cover said "War is not Healthy for Children and other Living Things."

My Government lied to America then and they're lying now to continue to unleash Death upon innocent People of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I SALUTE Country Joe who sought Peace during Nam and still is seeking Peace.

[drd6106]

All I can say is WAR SUCKS and we have a president who is a WARMONGER. I feel for the guys who over there playing Bush's game and living out his fantasies when all they want to do is come home and be with their families. Let's pray this war ends and people stop losing their lives. "They're fighting for our freedom" is not the reason our troops are over there and I'm getting tired of hearing it. More people against this war need to speak out. Thank you Country Joe! Sing Louder!!!!!

[zakcr440]

In America we have lost more freedom after 911 then ever before in history save the civil war. If they are fighting for our freedom, then where are they when Mexican troops cross our boarder with guns drawn and drugs in the trunk? What are they doing about the free speach zones? What about them taking legal citizens guns during katrina? Fuck the troops, they are not welcome when they come back home unless they go straight to the boarder and stop the illegal invasion!

[Slovak420]

It's not the troops who pick where to fight or who to fight. So don't blame the troops, blame the gov't blame bush, blame Dick Chaney, blame your senters who are getting rich off these wars.

[peacercs1]

Who in their right mind would give the comment above a thumbs down?! I bet that person would feel much different if they were on the receiving end of some of those bombs and bullets. INDEED COUNTRY JOE! SING LOUDER!! War is dumb.

[bebofran]

I just wanted to say thank you for your comment

[minstral2]

Its good to hear Country Joe McDonald again. Imagine if freedom of speech was allowed on the airwaves again? This song would be playing in every American City...thanks for posting this great protest song!

[LilliePearlsWorld]

Thank you Counry Joe. I'm glad someone has the guts to voice a HARD opinion. I don't know what to say; I sang w/you in the 60's now I've a son fixing to be 16.

[WEIR4EVER]

Thanks for this awesome post

[jrwilsonpainting]

YOUR ON THE PAGE AS US KEEP IT UP!!!!

[edukator1]

you complain about Twin Towera, me too, but that stuff is less than each noon in Bagdad

[afreegreek]

take another toke relax for a while and then take a fucking hike hippie

[Snudg]

Thanks Country Joe, I was a fan when I was avoiding getting killed in Viet Nam in 68..

Dont know why people think if your Against War, your against the poor slobs over there Dieing.

I was RAPEd by this country as is Everybody in Iraq now.. Im NOT a flag waver, but I DO Support those young man and women over there..

[ksol1460]

This war doesn't have enough powerful, memorable protest songs. Ohio hit us in the gut not just for what it was about, but Neil's scary D-modal chording and death march rhythm. Fixing to Die sticks with us for the sarcastic honky-tonk melody set to bitter words - real cardboard world stuff. Plus both songs were LOUD. GIMME AN F! Good song, just needs a little work. - Chris A.

[ksol1460]

What this song needs is a better refrain. The thing that's sticking in my head is the "chicken hawk draft dodger" bridge, instead of the main point. It's also too quiet, almost hesitant. Neil's "Impeach the President" song may not have been his greatest moment but he opened with great crashing and a hearty "Let's impeach the president for lying!" and if you don't know the rest of the song it doesn't matter, he's made his point! (continued)

[spedcail]

Chickenhawk Bush, Cheney the Media (FOX) the propaganda machine. Damn right. They are the scribes and the pharisees that put weight on others to do their dirty work. It is time for a revolution. Like the one we had before, but this time we will make sure they dont bamboozle us again!

[Bristoleer299]

You just don't get it? The American solder is just like you except for his courage,love of America and the sacrifice of his youth.

The definition of a Veteran is: Someone who at some point in his life write a blank check Payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including his life.

[alltvisanimated]

You are right! The way I see it the military would not hesitate to attack American suvillians if the order were given. The troops would quickly forget what those yellow ribbons of support mean. The whole support the troops even if you don't support the war idea is a strategy designed to confuse those weak minded individuals that buy into this whole neocon fear campaign! The troops are cowards for not exercising good judgment.

[Bristoleer299]

Don't you genuises get it - the American solder is just like you, exept with courage and love for his/her country.

The definition of a veteran is someone who at some point in his life wrote a blank check, payable for an amount up to and including his life.

[NoGod1859]

Well at least some people here have the right idea.

[Billykid514]

People who talk at concerts should be shot on sight

[Billykid514]

Country Joe rocks! Fuck you to all who said this song doesn't support the commander in chief. Joe is voicing his opinion just be thankful you are alive and or your not 22 yo and living with one leg or no arms for the rest of your life. Bush's responsibilty is to secure our borders period. Let those animals kill each other or drop a nuke on em all and wipe em off the face of the earth!

[bastonal]

Country Joe is a veteran and has ALWAYS supported the troops. Protesting their dying in unnecessary wars for profit (Haliburton, Blackwater GE and the stealing of other countries resources, OIL). The BushCo sheep NEVER do research on their own, Facts mean nothing to them, so they just repeating Fox news, Limbaugh & Bush's lies, it's much easier to do than thinking for themselves.

[OrbitEarth]

Joe-your song I'm sorry to say does not "Support the Troops", in fact it does the opposite. Thanks for trying--but it does no good when you slam their Commander in Chief.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOut]

I think he's asking for us to support the troops because they are helpless pawns in a war about arrogance, imperialism, and the lunacy of this "Commander in Chief" you mentioned.

[oldcowboy]

our pro-military president has opposed increases in military pay and benefits AND requirements to purchase from US manufacturers. verify this by reading the horribly liberal army times. LOL. billions to KBR is NOT pro-military.

[oldcowboy]

okie, you're 14? stfu. starvol, have you enlisted? you're not another pusillanimous pachyderm, are you? i know that my loyal and dedicated GOP neighbors held a wonderful surprise dinner for me before i went to iraq, and they all bought yellow magnets. your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore.

[countryjoe425]

BUCK FUSH....you figure it out

[buckshotTony90]

right on brother! support the troops!

[AllenGinsbergOM]

Yes Joe ! Irony is lost on too many here. You served and you came back and wrote "Fixin' to Die Rag".

[rspezia5337]

What a great song Country Joe! Bush truly is a chicken hawk, draft dodging, son of a bitch!

[genius3029]

Oh cmon people. I support the troops!!! I DO NOT Support the cause of the current war, nor do I support the leadership. I support our troops, they are the best at what they do, I just disagree with what they are being told to do right now. "blood for oil, not in my name"! our troops are worth more.

[genius3029]

im so glad to see that he is still playing music for peace! not in my name, either!

[okielostinde]

well i don't know much because i am only 14 but i do know i think the war will help us i seen what they did on 9/11 and i think they should pay. and if you do not like what i say you don't have to call me stupid or get angry ever one has the right to what they think.

[okielostinde]

fuck you! america needed this war to show who the hell is boss! we own the world and will rule it!! get over it!

[robbell]

Beat the drum, wave the flag, For those who won't be coming back. Numbers rising, build another Wall For those who answered the Country's call. Support the troops Support the troops Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Dads Left with nothing but a folded flag. Gold Star Brothers, Sisters too Feel their pain, it could be you! Support the troops Support the troops

[TrystanCJ]

Why the FUCK should anyone support the troops? They are the foot soldiers of the neocon regime, literally. I support the pissed of civilians in Iraq that have taken up popular struggle against the war mongering imperialist neo-con fucks.

Long live the resistance!

[WheatCrackers666]

I support the families of the soldiers, and in some instances the soldiers themslevs. I don't know when the phrase "support the troops" became "support the war". People say we made shit better over there, but before us they had electricty, and running water at least.

[starVol]

The troops are probably some of your neighbors. Sons, daughters and kids down the block. So remove your head from your *** please! You all know foreign policy has little to do with why these *Terrorists* hate those of us from the west dont you? They hate us bc we are infidels. Now I wish we could get out of Iraq soon also, but yiminey, comments like Trystan are just to stupid to let pass.

[bebofran]

First it is not the troops faults, My husband is Vietnam Vet and I will be damned if yous talk about the men that serve our country. Who signed up to the military, and as far as George Bush, when did the man serve?>

[eterrasta77]

be responsable with your own acts someone said if your husband decided to go kill vietking because they think diferent that him and they want to be comunist

is your own choice you people go to war because you people like money that is all

[GrantPantling]

part 1

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKING LIBERALS. First off, only way to support the troops is to support what they are doing. I would hate for all troops that are serving to come back home and be disgraced but you need to support what they are doing. If this is going to become WWIII then I it makes sense. We are on the good guys side. This war is not going to be over quick and is not going to be cheap.

[eterrasta77]

you fuking stupid selfish people ,you always talk abut the good guys like rambo you mother fukers are only in Irak because you need oil ,and the excusing yourself ,you call that war in terror taking sadam out of the power ,there is no terror in sadam you only want the oil from the arabs countrys wake up americans you are not alone in this worl mother fukers!!

[sunra67]

right on! if all you liberals are so righteous why are all you yuppies driving fucking hummers. everybody hates bush so much they project all their guilt on him. also i hear more people under 25 voted for american idol than the election. i liked the 60's music but most of the musicians of that era are the biggest sellouts of all time. everyone sold their asses to madison avenue in the end. david crosby? gun toting freebase freak. hippies suck!

[cronikhashish]

Firstly: Fuck you, Retard. Read a history book or two. Secondly: Loose you blind devotion to an organization that doesn't give 2 shits about you or anyone else. Third: there are no liberals or conservatives; just human beings. The real war is on the peoples minds. If we do nothing, then we give consent to do wrong we are all guilty! Sorry I called you that, but Geez, please open your eyes.

[GrantPantling]

part 2

Bush said that many times before he got re elected by the United States Population. If you dont like him then why is he in power? If most of the contry hates him then why is he in power. The truth is that people dont like him but he is better than John Kerry. We would be working on helping the poor and useless and then taking it up the ass by Iraq. Is that what you guys want???

[WheatCrackers666]

So the poor are less human than you? Actually if it weren't for our huge ego none of this would have happened. Bush tried to talk Saudi Arabia into giving us more oil, and when they finally agreed, Bush started to haggel with them! And presidents don't get ellected by the population, it's the electoral collage. And nobody in there gives two shits about the public, they just want to hold thier position in office and make money like a bunch of rats!

[chinesebandits]

The question I've asked is still unanswered. If we were to go the green route, and all ride on bicycles and live in straw huts, weaving baskets, what is going to stop the rest of the mechanized petrol powered world from beating down the door and forcing you to bow to allah, or give everything you earn to the government so they can decide what you get based on need.Your world where everyone loves eachother makes for some really good lyrics to a john lennon song.won't ever happen.

[WheatCrackers666]

Well we don't need world peace, we need world tolerance. If we could tolerate eachother just a little more, life on earth wouldn't be nearly as shitty for some people.

[chinesebandits]

You know, all I hear is how middle east has us by the balls, when Canada and Mexico are our biggest oil providers. If we actually switched to more nuclear power, we could use more oil for gas, and lower our imports. But the greens are against that too. So what's the answer, the greens want wind power, just not in the kennedy's back yard of cape cod. Okay to put it in anyone else's back yard, just not theirs.

[smashneoconzis]

go to iraq hopefully they ship your retarded ass back in a sack...

[x101proofchaosx]

chinesebandits you just don't have the same view as me on this and we will never agree because you really don't have much of a peaceful or open mind. All i can say, and at least you can agree with this, is what a mess we (Humans) have made of this beautiful place to live called Earth.

[chinesebandits]

I've got the cure for not drilling. Calif. and NY use the most oil due to their population. I say the states that allow drilling pay no taxes on their fuels. The other states get taxed heavily on it. When you idiots are paying $7/gal and we are paying $2/gal, we'll see if you still don't want to drill here.

[chinesebandits]

Of course we could be drilling here...oh wait the dumbass protesters don't want it. I have a hard time taking advice about what what kind of car I should drive from idiots that don't hold a job because they'd rather protest and live off of the system. Here in Louisiana we drill for oil, and guess what there are very strict eco regulations. We make no damage to the land. We have the best hunting and fishing in the US. But you nutbags don't want us to drill where there is a ton of oil.

[chinesebandits]

The global warming comment started with Katherine232 who said we are polluting our planet by burning fossile fuels. The fact is the war is about oil. They have it, we buy it. End of transaction. When some nutbag tries to disrupt that we take them out for the good of everyone.

[chinesebandits]

So you mean to tell me that in '91 when Kuwait ASKED us to come in there after they were invaded by Iraq, that it was what the government wanted to print? Give me a break dude. If that war was for oil, why didn't we, and why aren't we now taking Iraq's oil? Please explain.

[masterloc8]

US oil companies operating in Kuwait were slant drilling into Iraq before that invasion. FYI.

[chinesebandits]

In 1990 Iraq accused Kuwait of stealing Iraq's oil through directional drilling. Could not have happened as at that time the limit for directional drilling was about a mile. Platforms would have had to be 1 mile from the border, and easily identifiable. So smartass, quit reading the kool-aid blogs and throwing out "proof" that you don't even understand. I've worked oil fields for 15 years, I know what I'm talking about.

[x101proofchaosx]

That war was to defend OIL. That war was put into place so that the US did not get robbed of it's share of fucking oil. The middle east has us by the fucking balls because we depend on them for Oil, yet we fail to realize that we can use lots of other resources besides oil.

[x101proofchaosx]

Men fight other men for land, for oil, and for power. All three of those things are direct products of egotistical fuckheads that control our government, and also all the other ego obsessed fuckheads controlling other countries and provinces. The war in 91' wasn't for fucking Kuwait, thats what the government wanted the papers to print and the public to think.

[x101proofchaosx]

First of all chinesebandits, your taking this argument into completely irrelevant topics such as global warming, which i happen to agree with you on, but this discussion was about war and why we humans are ignorant enough to cause it.

[ColdChicago]

the grateful are dead: they od'd

the jefferson airplane went down in flames

janis and the holding company now just post

mortem flames

country joe went on... the only one to get it on

stop the war-now and forever

stop the machine... and stop rockin and start lifting and looking under the ROCK

[chinesebandits]

101fuckface, In case you haven't noticed, this uneducated redneck is winning this debate you wanted. Asspaper comes from trees, we now have more young trees, which coincidentally produce significanly more oxygen than old trees, thereby helping the ozone layer. But you're too fucking ignorant to see that. Instead you bitch about cutting the trees, so that there are no firelines in the forrests, so California goes up in flames every year, really ideal place to live. You peacenicks are idiots.

[chinesebandits]

If you would read the commend dickface, you would see that I'm making fun of your "climatologist" expert al fucking gore. In the 1970's the "scientific concensus" was that there was global cooling we're heading for another ice age. So now we're supposed to believe that "this concensus" is correct about global warming? I'll tell you now that they're wrong, it's not man made. It's a cycle. Damn weather occurs in a cycle? who'd a thunk it.

[chinesebandits]

You 101 are the uneducated. I suppose if the rest of the world with nukes and fossil fueled armies would just sit in peace with us riding around on bicycles and weaving straw huts in your eutopian society? Dream on you fuckwad. You know what, a big stick ensures peace.

[chinesebandits]

Hey 101clueless, you're the fucking idiot, if you remember dickweed, we fought Iraq in 91' because we were asked to. US blood was spilled over there liberating Kuwait fucknut. Iraq under Hussein did not abide by any parts of the treaty. So we are enforcing it instead of letting those that died in 91' be in vain. You are a dickless spinelss weasel and probably fuck your sister.

[x101proofchaosx]

You sound like a goddamn uneducated redneck moron and you probably don't even realize it. "Well i aint gonna have no goddang government tellin me how much shitpaper i can have to wipes my ass!" and your saying this while innocent lifes are being lost and tortured everyday in this war. Fuck you. People like you will make this world continue to be a shitty place.

[x101proofchaosx]

chinesebandits you miss the point. So you would rather have plenty of toilet paper and all the gasoline and all the fucking energy that you want, while we go fight useless fucking wars to provide you with that?

[chinesebandits]

You're right 101, I'm greedy, I don't want a government telling me that I'll get this much shitpaper to wipe my ass, or I get this much water, or that I can't own my land. If it were left up to cockbites like you, we'd all be wearing turbins and burkahs.

[chinesebandits]

hey 101proofclueless, I'd bet you a dime to a dollar that I'd out survive you outside of the comfort zone. You hippies in your prius' will be the ones not surviving jackoff.

[x101proofchaosx]

People in this world and especially in more developed nations like the US or Europe, are all spoiled fucking rotten by this blissfully ignorant comfort zone that they actually call life. We don't need money and fucking technology to live happily. Go back to where the human race came from, go back to living by nature and always fight against greedy governments and dictators. Its all just human greed that starts war.

[x101proofchaosx]

Fuck you goddamn blind idiots like chinesebandits. You want to know why this world will continue to destroy itself? Greedy bastards that slime their way to the top of the government and then start wars to attract media attention and bring in money/oil/more land/ whatever be the object of their greed

[chinesebandits]

To all the other hippie treehuggers, Why don't you get on Al Gore's ass about having a utility bill higher per month than the average american pays for a year?Sheryl crow wants to mandate a single sheet of toilet paper, why don't you come wipe my ass,if a green earth means a brown hand for me...cut the trees.

[chinesebandits]

katherine232,I'm sure you're the protesting hippie type that doesn't hold a job Yet our men/women in military have to pay taxes even when we're at war, they get the worst treatment at the va hospitals, but some nutcase like you can walk into any hospital and not get refused, without paying. Our military doesn't get the respect they deserve for doing the shit jobs they have my respect,thanks and prayers. And let me catch one of your hippie friends spitting on a soldier or burning my flag...

[chinesebandits]

Hey katherine232, you still have the freedom to move to a third world country and weave baskets and ride bicycles. idiot tree huggers like you will run down our guys and gals in the military, yet when your boys lead us into Bosnia, you don't say a word? YES WE're there for oil, it's because nutcases like you wont let us drill for in ANWR.While you want to wait for wind powered boats and cars, how will you stop the rest of the world from invading with gas powered military?

[legacyboom]

"IM NOT A POLICY MAKER; JUST A SWORN IN ORDER-TAKER" - Mike McColgan of the Street Dogs, former G.I., and firefighter...we dont expect you to understand but thats not to say that it is sometimes a little frustrating to be called baby-killers and murderers...oh shit i think i just lined myself up for a "well sometimes the truth hurts" kind of comment...

[legacyboom]

yea i know i posted a lot of comments but i guess i just felt i had to...and yea they read backwards boo hoo

[legacyboom]

whether you want to acknowledge it or not, your ability to think and operate as you see fit are a direct result of your military and the way i see it if you dont like the way things are done, do something about it or get out...this is just one airmen's take on things but at tomorrow's dawn ill once again put on my uniform and go to work for you, whether you agree with it or not...

[greenandfluffy]

NO, it's a direct result of the CONSTITUTION, and have you noticed? We don't use it anymore. The military might as well be the Clone Army from Star Wars, it's run by imperialistic pigs

[legacyboom]

i ask you to paint us a picture of a united states without a military from 300 years ago up until now and we'll see what kind of pallete you possess...it's very easy for you to talk like you are some savior when the ability to speak freely was given to you by a dead service member...

[greenandfluffy]

we have free speech in this country?? Oh I guess I didn't realize they haven't officially trashed the First Amendment yet... but no one can say anything without the Political Correctness police trouncing on them

[legacyboom]

for you to say that u.s. troops are murderers and we should "put bullets in our heads" for being "a disgrace to the human experience" is not only completely heartless, but also demonstrates a complete lack of intellect...you probably base your opinions on the media and God knows how reliable the media are...

[legacyboom]

i and the rest of my brothers/sisters in arms gave up our voices when we enlisted to make sure you could retain yours...we cannot pick our wars; all we can do is simply fight the ones we are given...it is YOUR job to form policies and if you say that it is not well then you must not be a voter...

[greenandfluffy]

Even the illegal wars? I have a whole lot of respect for the guys in the military standing up against this never ending war on 'terror'. As far as voting goes... it's FIXED or else we wouldn't be over there

[legacyboom]

it IS NOT OUR JOB as the military to make the policies; it is simply our job to supervise and when need be, enforce...if you have a problem with the way our country is run, then do something about it...whether you like it or not, the responsiblity lies with the civilian population...

[legacyboom]

nootpad- imagine a united states where each individual u.s. troop retained his individual political beliefs and decided to take action in the name of those political beliefs...you'd have an armed mob of people trying to lead our country this way and that...instead of this, we military members abandon our individual views and various liberties and focus instead on doing what is necessary to protect this nation...

[SemperFi992]

well i dont know what to tell you, i cant make you support the troops, i cant make you show respect for our men and women in uniform. weather you believe in this war or not is your opinion and your intitled to it. but what i do know is that when i enlisted, i swore that i would "protect and serve my country" and by going to iraq and afghanistan i was doing my job and i feel that by doing so i protected and served the people of the united states of america.

[SemperFi992]

i served my country, and i am a united states marine, and that is what i am proud of. i am proud of all the men and women who answered there countries call, despite there political beliefs, they wanted to protect and serve there country and thats what they did.

[SemperFi992]

i havent made a mistake, im proud of what ive done, im proud of my country and im proud of my fellow soldiers. we dont murder innocent people and i think i would know better then you because i was there

[SemperFi992]

yeah serving my country makes me a disgrace to my country

[SemperFi992]

yeah fuck you ass hole, i guess fighting in afganistan and iraq for the past 4 years isnt enough to earn the respect of libral peices of shit like you

[SemperFi992]

we are all fighting for our country, we are fighting and serving our country you ignorant libral bastard. every liberty you have, every right you have, you can thank a veteran for it, becuase if it werent for them america would be a conquered nation and you wouldnt have any of those rights and liberties

[krissy4nik]

Your right in that the troops have killed and died for our liberty but im tired of this killing and dying how free do you feel when your loved ones have died ? How free do you feel when everytime you turn on a tv you see some nation we've wronged and made enemies with ? Dont get me wrong im not against all wars when japan bombed us we had to defend ourselves and when afghanistan attacked but when did iraq attack us

[SemperFi992]

your an idoit, who has no idea what is going on over there, cuz u werent there. we arent killing innocent people. you look at how many civilions have been killed in iraq, look how many have been killed by americans, not many because the majority of us soldiers are just doing our job which is to fight for our country

[katherine232]

"the majority of us soldiers are just doing our job which is to fight for our country" SemperFi992 lets get this clear; you are not fighting for your country you are putting yourself at risk and killing and maiming others on behalf of multinational companies the owners of which do not give a toss about you. You are there to secure oil supplies for western nations so that we can continue polluting our planet by burning fossil fuels.

[SemperFi992]

ive never understood people like you who dont have any respect for the men and women who serve there country and are willing to put there lives on the line... and yes we ARE serving our country because unlike you i am proud of my country and i am willing to fight for it.

[ScareTax]

Look here you funkin idiot.... Were not in Isreal you dumbass.... Were in funkin Iraq... And more than half those ppl over there arent inocent.... There harboring terrorists....

[vrede420]

ScareTax: He wrote "for Israel", not "in Israel". You're entitled to believe that nootpad is wrong, but someone with your poor comprehension and spelling skills should really be careful about throwing around the words "idiot" and "dumbass".

[blazak]

Look at Walter Reed hospital. Republicans don't "support the troops." They abuse them to increase the profits of war contractors. Wake up.

[Biker15k]

don't look no further then you local news. VA hospitals are always in bad shape, you don't pay to be treated and you sure hell don't want to help pay to fix them up with your taxes. Next time vote for the money instead of jumping on the bandwagon when it is to late

Joe understands the vets. we talk about the same shit that liberals use as their battle cry. 'cept we do it in jest, cause we know we did our job, and lost our friends and lost our ability to feel average American problems. Once you go to war, on one hand you feel invincibility on the other hand your the only 20 year old who really knows what death is like. sorry for rambling...

I saw him live at the "Heros of Woodstock" in Berlin.

Together with Canned Heat and Iron Butterfly.

He did great and I really loved this song.

You Go Joe! Thank you we know where you stand and

Mr. KingFish if Joe is a pussy all I can say is better to be a pussy then a DICK!

[badbutt570]

Joe is a soldier, a warrior, and a patriot. Kudos to Joe. Generate light, not heat!

[sigridida]

Actually, Joe was in the Gulf of Tonkin, (go read your history books), with the Navy, when that went down in Nam.

[PorchDogPondering]

Don't think Joe was there but he did serve and that is all that matters to me.

Kingfisher doesn't know Country Joe. Joe is a Navy Veteran and served two years in Japan. He really means it when he says "Support the Troops."

[kingfishpainter]

fucking coward. this vet will kick your ass to show my support for MY troops. you big pussy!

[straightshoot]

What a stupid asshole comment you posted here, kingfishpainter. If you knew anything about the man, he's helped more vets than you've probably served with, if you even served at all. If you did, you'd recognize that he supports the troops and not the scandelous poliiticians who run this war, politicians that you probably voted in. fuck off!

[FerretMIke]

And this war vet (me) would be happy to kick your sissy bush/war criminal loving ass into next week. I was an MOS 18E and have served in a Bush war in Panama.

Supporting the troops means using them to defend our country, not making them whores for Haliburton.
