RadioArcher,
From one civil servant to another, get over yourself. You sound ignorant. You know nothing about this man, and the things he has done in his life. You don't have to like the song, but don't attack the artist personally. He IS a man of HONOR! Contrary to what you may think, he served our country too. He knows of duty! In addition, if you are going to attempt to debate, do it with at least half of a brain. Learn to spell! You make me embarrassed to be a civil servant!

I expected this and it's your right to express your opinion. You may be getting good care, but over 25,000 vets have had their benefits cut due to "pre-existing mental conditions". The Army also has an estimate of 1,000 suicides and/or attempts per month. You call me a pacifist. No, Jesus was a pacifist. He would turn the other cheek. I won't. I'll fight to the death for my family and American soil. As a vet, I do know duty, honor and country. Dissent is a necessary form of patriotism.

Im an Iraq vetran and I found your song very distastefull. I can tell you a pacifist and no nothing of duty, honor, county, and from the looks of your age I bet your life motto before the end of the cold war was better RED THAN DEAD. See i did patrols went house to house, got shot at and blowed up. Came home 70 percent disabled from an IED blast. Ive been very well taken care of thank you very much. See I have a family that is very important to me and feel there safty is worth my risk.
