i think his biggest point is, the music he sings is only what you make of it. To me this is a great song cause it allows us as people not just as americans but as people to think about where we all could be instead of where we are now.
If you can do nothing but take petty shots at a song about such serious subject matter you have a lot to learn about the world. I bet you hated "Save a Horse" so you hate every other song he'll ever write? Very shallow minded. I wish you would trash this song around a veteran.
Aw I love this song, I cry every time I hear it. Makes me so Damn Proud to be an American. May God Bless all the veterans from pass wars and all our Men and Woman fighting to protect this beautiful country now and their families. ......JOHN RICH You are Awesome and may God continue to bless you also. From 1 of your biggest Fans.
Now this is country dammit !! This is one of the best singers/songwriters of all time !!! He's telling the truth and SOME people just don't like hearing it, so if you don't like this song its safe to say you're a commie.
yeah? try writing a song that good... ask Jeffery steele, Anthony Smith or Patty Griffin, John Prine or Mart Stuart... He's a helluva a sonwriter and performer. You obviously don't know anything much about the process... or you would be thinkin'.. sonofabitch, John Rich CAN write s song! He's the man... (you ain't.. poser!)
You know. Some of you people are real douchebags. If you don't have anything nice to say. DON'T SAY ANYTHING. He is serving his country. By singing. These patriotic songs do a lot for the morale of our troops.
duty hasnt called. this war is nothing like world war 2. back then when you turned 17 18 you went to war whether you liked it or not.. you was needed.
you cant talk crap on John Rich because chances are he's got more albums than you do so either shut up and enjoy a great song or quit listening and talkin crap
LOVE this song. my grandfather fought in world war 2 and was shot down 3 times. and my brother was in iraq twice. people can say what they want but those men and women are heros and im very proud to say im and American.
Hell yeah. I am the sister and grandaughter of two great men that fight and faught for our freedom. I don't care how many people insult this song, I am proud of our vetrans and of our current soliders.
watching so many of my friends fight for our freedome in Iraq and Afganistan and watching my cousin fight in Iraq on his second tour, i have so much respect for this song, and it makes me be proud to be an american!
this song is great and he is not talking about saving the whole world during the war he is talking about protecting the US and keeping it from getting attacked any further. after pearl harbor (which btwno one else helped the US out) we stepped in and took a stand. It seems like the US is always having to step in and help out everyone else, but who helps us out? My grandpa and uncles were WWII vets and i know exactly where he is coming from with this song.
what about Canada? we are right next to you guys. we were one of the main countries that fought against the Germans. We were the best pilots and won the most battles, America sat on the sidelines until they were hit personally, Canada helped out in the war right away.
Because, us canadians are know for hockey and beer. When the Canadian Armed Forces are just as good as the United States Military. Don't under estimate anyone!
ya but remeber everyone hates the U.S. and america had to formulate a plan, but we took out japan, we didnt go all out cause we were smart enough to realize that with japan, nazi germany, and russia we had to be careful, U.S. military is the strongest in the world, U.S. was preparing for the war while canada was in, we werent just sittign around doing nothing, we needed a gameplan not jsut throw a million soldiers out, the first to launch is usually the first to die
first of all i want to set some things straight, i am not saying the U.S. is useless, they are very useful and yes they do have the strongest military and probably navy too, i am just sick of always hearing americans talk about themselves and their continent as if Canada never existed, we are right beside you, and we are a lot better than you think we are, also, Canada did not just rush into the war, we made a game plan first but we knew that if we didn't act fast then it would be hopeless
Ya I'm not one of those people, I always remeber we have some good allies like canada and the U.K., you guy are still helping us out now, the only allies I dont consider are, russia, france and japan, , because we can't really trust them , especially russia, and I know that but I'd just like to point out that cause we don't go into the battle right away doesnt mean we aren't doing anything and I think the U.S. is heading down into facism, hope you guys will be there to help us out :)
that is good to know, makes me feel a bit better about the people in the U.S., that we are being heard and seen, and don't worry canadians will be there for the U.S. anytime and anywhere
what the fuck is sauerfraut? hahaha perhaps you should do a little research of your own
as for the USA winning the war all on it's own, i think that myth has been debunked a million times. Remember America didn;'t bother their arses about World War Two and the carnage is Europe until well over 2 years in
im sorry but if nazi germany did take over europe then hitler would be stuck because america was too far away to attack and russia was too strong (hello you can't win against russia's winter) so this song is shit because those events would never of happened. haha
yes, britain did come out bad from the blitz but it did end the slums in London - something good out of something bad. And from 1943 + britain and russia and france were turning the tables.
so Hitler would have just stopped with europe? or would he have continued his "racial purification" throughout the world? And distance had nothing to do with it because i'm pretty sure japan attacked america, right? a place called pearl harbor.
i'm going to put it simply, and say that your an idiot for believing that. The USA was not too far away because if you'll recall we were attacked. between Germany and Japan they could have defeated Russia. also lets not forget how we were losing the war in the pacific for a while until the battle of Midway. the Japanese and German military were far superior that that of other countries at this time. All Russia had going for it was its winter and even that almost didn't save them from Hitler.
plz don't call me an idiot...wat evidence can u base that on. Wat im sayin is that song is sayin america did this, we saved everythin. We don't know if germany would hv invaded the rest of the world - we do know hitler wanted an empire like britain.I can make an educated guess that german forces would be near dead if they defeated allied soliders & red army - which in 1945 was the largest army in the world.If germany and japan attack america - germany would take at least 10 years for a new army
i apologize, and you do know your history. however the Russian army often lacked enough rifles for all of its men so its number didn't matter and as you'll recall Hitler was only a few miles from taking Moscow. winter came late that year and had it not been for the feet of snow the next day Russia would have fell, and it would have been a single front war against Germany and it most likely would not have ended the same way.
Great song, to bad this country is taking a step backwards on our basic freedoms now that Obama is in office and our children will end up paying for all our debt. The Larger the government
the less rights we have. Don t forget those who have sacrificed. Remember some in this country don't sacrifice at all. They just soak up my taxes. Its BS!
Now if we could just get the REST of America to WAKE UP!!! So many are taking so much, that have given so little.
They hardly make men like that anymore. No one wants to GIVE, it's only, "what have you done for me lately" It makes me SICK. And ashamed to be an American sometimes. I come from a military family and a father that fought in WWII and Korea, Marine pilot. Both sons, and both husbands, all military. And I am PROUD of it!! Semper Fi, Go Navy and Army!!
Trade is base on a product you dont have apples for bannans ext. not for thngs you do have. Free trade is a race to the bottom thinkng slave labor no environmental standards turn a blind i unsafe product thinkers These are the same people who buy blood diamonds.child forced labor products to save a dollar .. Hypocrites are what they are. Fair trade is trading with countries that have similar human rights and standards and wages. When you BUY AMERICAN we know most of these demands are met
i think his biggest point is, the music he sings is only what you make of it. To me this is a great song cause it allows us as people not just as americans but as people to think about where we all could be instead of where we are now.
