@marie310north Uhm, she's talking about it being sad that we live in a world where soldiers are necessary. Hers was a VERY supporting song, acknowledging that need while not wanting her baby brother to become one who relishes war and killing. It's beautiful, honest, and holds much truth.
She hasn't missed the point, she's expressing a viewpoint you don't like. Not the same thing.

"It's aweful sad we need boys like you." You miss the point, support the troops, they are your brothers.

@DJdext Truer words were never spoken, I've known dozens of soldiers from all factions, I've liked maybe two of them.
