Big Country. Where the Rose is Sown

Another Big Country classic. This strong anti war anthem is accompanied by images of soldiers throughout the years. There are no graphic or shocking images, just hopefully thought provoking ones.

@mrmarkymark77 Cheers dude....

Anti war not anti soldier? Fuck.

I'm anti both, people just say that to try not and offend people.

[CarlBewley]

@MilitaryArcade You may have a point there but a soldier isn't always a guy in uniform...you write tunes about revolution...whose gonna fight them for you? One man's terrorist is anothers freedom fighter (just ask George Washington.....) and sometimes you have to fight...wish it wasn't that way because I'm a big ole' hippy who doesn't wanna hurt anybody :)

[MilitaryArcade]

@CarlBewley Respect dude! :)

But I see where you are coming from. I guess what i was originally trying to say was that if you're stupid enough to join an army of people dying just so a fat ass politician can continue to brainwash an entire nation, than why should we respect them?

But hey, i guess alot of people don't see it that way, maybe i'm being a little too ignorant.

I often feel the press have a lot to answer for. Every soldier who dies in service becomes 'a hero' and i'm not belittling that but the sense of anger and injustice it causes that 'one of ours' got killed in uniform is often a little bit OTT for me. If you join up, they give you a gun for a reason. its not all skiing in the alps and building wells in Africa. Soldiers fight and sadly soldiers die, it's hard to take when they die 'for nothing' or for control of oil though.....

@jcross1kirk

No nation should impose their ideals on other cultures. Live and let live is my philosophy as a liberal. As a muslim, I assure you that even from extremists among us, we're NOT seeking to exterminate Western Liberalism. We don't hate the West (as the media would have you believe) and value liberty. Don't you think the recent violence which has sadly occurred against the West may have been provoked REactions and in REsponse to the afront from the West against Muslim states?

@IqbalHamid History speaks for itself and we in the West know full well the muslim pass in Spain, France and in the Balkans. We know what is going on with our Christian brothers in some muslim countries.
