Dang. Now that's a paragraph I wish I could have written.

Even with all the criticisms, I can't hate on it. Made me think a lot about how often I've looked down on cars and houses with American flags on them.

I mean, if she has questions, why the hell don't we hear them? As somebody pointed out upthread, she is not supporting her brother with that song, or that vehicle for that matter.

Should we have heard the questions? That's not what the song is about, really, as much as it is the fact that she is proud of the military no matter what reservations she has about the current conflict; not the same thing as justifying the entire military presence in Iraq. As for whether or not she's helping her brother, maybe her brother completely agrees with the reasons for being in Iraq, or maybe he appreciates that his sacrifice is being acknowledged, or maybe he thinks it's a hypocritical piece of shit of whatever. I think you're punishing the song for not being a wholehearted affirmation of your own views (not to mention not being completely in disagreement as well).

you're right, i think she should stop writing songs and just enlist.

"Ive got the sticker of the SS Troopers on the bumper of my Mini Cooper"
