After the fall of the soviet union there was a power vaccum filled by a multitude of despots and dictators, we, as the strongest group of nations, need the balls to get behind the restoration of security. people will die, war is ugly and brutal but without a measure of suffering we wont reach our goals. our governments lied about the reasons for us going in but would the masses have backed a war for someone else safety and development? i doubt it.
To those of you disputing the war here, this isn't about whether or not we should be in iraq. This is about the soldiers fighting for our freedom (and yes, your freedom to oppose the war). If you can't respect and appreciate the sacrifices these soldiers are making for all of us, get the hell out of the country.
Thanks to OAR for being such a great band, thanks to whoever put this together, and most importantly thanks to the soldiers around the world keeping us safe here at home.
the thing I disagree with here is you "we did this to get back at them for 9/11" Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 it was Osama who is/was in Afghanistan. Bush used 9/11 as a jumping off point to make American's fearful then pulled the WMD phrase out and THAT was the reason we were suppose to be there. But no one needs to speak ill of the soldiers, as the saying goes, "IF YOU CAN'T STAND BEHIND THEM THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM"
This was a long overdue message that the middle east needed from America, no longer were we going to stand by as our citizens our being murdered, and the innocent being oppressed. Far too long our message to those that spilled American blood was silence. Today those that harm Americans whether it would be at some embassy, Marine barracks, airliner, or in the United States, they know now that they'll pay and we will do it at all costs. God Bless America
holy crap this is definitaly the greatest song ever made. my english teacher made us listen to it nd it is awesome. me nd all my playa homies alway sing it in the hall because it is so gangsta.
love this song. Video gives me chills. If you honestly think this is an "exploitation" of the troops you need a reality check. Love my troops I support them wherever they go. And I have more respect for a vet than a Harvard Grad anyday. McCain 2008
That isn't the point of the song. They said at the concert I went to: "This isn't an anti-war song." It's just a song to thank the troops. Stopping the war now would make all of those deaths meaningless, because the country would collapse on itself and be worse off than before we went.
Everyone wants it to end, we just have to win first, and we can.
thats what ive been telling my friends taht are like "stop the iraq war!" i keep saying "ending it will cause just as much deaths or even more than continuing because the country will basically die on its own without americas help
Since when has america cared if a country destories itself. We have seen many a country basically die and we didn't help. So what makes this case so different.
unless i am unaware there was no "spamming" on a message board....i posted the link on an OAR Fan board because the song is by O.A.R. and I figured OAR fans would enjoy this. There were no underlying intentions of trying to look for "kudos and warm fuzzies"
personally i do enjoy it and I thank you. I found this on Pandora, and i have this useful tool for downloading youtube vids into mp3s, so I'm glad there was an album version here.
OK I may be an ass for not buying the album, but I don't care.
as long as Americans continue to support us. we'll kill the bastards and win this war.

none of you know what what you are talking about......
me being a personal iraq war veteran and currently deployed in afghanistan this means a lot to soldiers,marines,air man,and salors
maybe it was a bad idea to attack iraq but we are doing it for the better of the country
the last thing we need is another country with a dictator.
we did this to get back at them for 9/11

They did go to Iraq to perform. They never served in the armed forces. The song is based on what they experienced while in Iraq.

This description is false. They never went to Iraq. They just did a USO tour and that inspired them to write this. Please fix that.
