not the funniest RZ song, but definitely my uncontested favorite. not many laughs, but roy more than makes up for it with hard-hitting words for everyone who says "support our troops" and then does nothing to support our guys and gals in uniform.

As a Viet Vet, thanks for your song...... simple humanity comes from just paying attention......

[TheWildheartmuse]

Oh I so agree!

YEP - Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and all the architects of that hideous war in Iraq should be brought to trial. But Obama wouldn't even consider it - he ticked me off terribly not bringing them to justice.

@ralfjacobs As a Vietnam vet, I know the bs the recruiters give the young people of our country. I also know what they don't tell 'em. They don't tell 'em about the very real prospect of dying way to young. Or that war isn't a video game where no one gets hurt or dies. Thanks for speaking for those folks in Iraq and Afghanistan Roy!

@Pattypanpooch isnt what he said exactly what happened? i dont get why people want to be in the army with the stuff they have to deal with. and all for a country that lives on war.

i thought about joining the army in my country and than i thought to myself why would i fight for a person sitting safely at home while my country isnt even at risk.

we the "civilised" countries where the ones doing the attacking not the other way around.

and terrorists? the media already gave in to their demands

@ralfjacobs

I disagree with a lot of what he said (more in his other videos than this one) *and* I am a republican.

What you asked are loaded questions.

[ralfjacobs]

@Pattypanpooch do you disagree because your a republican or are you a republican because you disagree with a lot of what he said?

[iamTheSnark]

Hey, I'm Dutch and I, too, think this is an extremely powerful song. Well done Ted.

I'm a republican, so I don't agree with a lot of what you say in your songs (I've listened to a few) but I can always appreciate it when someone is talented and uses their talent to speak out on what they believe in, whether I share their opinions or not.
